Description Peter Bowen 2001-08-21 21:53:03 UTC
Up2date 2.6.0-7.x.31 (GUI mode) crashed with the following traceback:
Traceback (innermost last):

Comment 1 Peter Bowen 2001-08-22 03:22:20 UTC
This only happens with the vorbis, mpg123, and libao packages.  All other
packages installed just fine.

Comment 2 Glen Foster 2001-08-22 22:08:30 UTC
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax.

Comment 3 Adrian Likins 2001-08-23 01:26:25 UTC
Looking through the packages, it looks like it might be a package bug
(nothing provides libao.so.0 now, so updating any of the ogg packages
in a way that doesnt update all of them raises a dep on libao.so.0, which
doesnt exist in the current db)

which in turn causes a ugly traceback in the client. Obviously, the
failure handling code for that scenario in the client needs to
be better. Taking a look.

Comment 4 Adrian Likins 2001-08-23 02:30:24 UTC
okay, now I catch this error message and raise the approriate exception.

The user gets a dialog telling them what dependcy failed and that
they should adjust their package selections. At the moment, it doesnt
tell what package raised that dep, but I'll try to add that tomorow.

With the proper packages of course, this should never happen.
The current fix eliminates the tracebacks though and provides
feedback to the user to why it failed.
