- I was doing a yum upgrade, on a slow connection, and wanted to kill yum to save some bandwidth for browsing - hit Ctrl+C, a message pops up saying to press Ctrl+C again to kill yum - no matter how hard I try to press Ctrl+C, yum isn't killed, but ^C is recognized and printed on screen - after some time (about a minute) finally yum quits - I expected it to quit immediately after the second time I pressed Ctrl+C (9/91): eclipse-cdt-5.0.2-3.fc11.i586.rpm | 15 MB 10:56 ... Current download cancelled, interrupt (ctrl-c) again within two seconds to exit. ^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C Exiting on user cancel ^C Exiting on user cancel. [cosimoc@pluto: ~]$
If this wasn't Fedora 11 it would have looked like a duplicate of bug 519233. FWIW: My experience is that ctrl-c always worked acceptable in Fedora 11.
the delay in exiting, in the past has always been a dns lookup issue in python. We're waiting for a response we can't break out of b/c of how low of a level it is.
