From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011019 Netscape6/6.2 Description of problem: gnorpm (0.96) works as non-root user, but fails with "XML-CRITICAL **: Document is empty\nXML-CRITICAL **: Start tag expect, '<' not found" when run as root or in su'd shell WHEN THE "WEB FIND" BUTTON IS CLICKED. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.96 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.login as root, or su to root 2.execute gnorpm from command line 3.click on "Web find" button 4.look at output in shell Actual Results: The Web find window opens but all fields are empty or place-holders. The program outputs the following to the terminal: XML-CRITICAL **: Document is empty XML-CRITICAL **: Start tag expect, '<' not found Expected Results: "Web find" window should open and display list of available rpm's for download and/or install. Additional info: This behavior started after I recently upgraded Perl from the distribution version to v5.6.1 via CPAN module's "install Bundle::CPAN". The gnorpm version is 0.96, rpm version is 4.0.3.
Works OK for me; perhaps the new Perl somehow replaced the XML or other relevant libraries? In any case, deferring gnorpm bugs since we are working on replacing rather than repairing it. Suggest using up2date as well.
