From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: Occasionally when I decide to browse the web in another virtual window/workspace/whatever while 'up2date' is running, it will fail out with this backtrace: mozart [~/]> up2date Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 832, in doInstallation self.setArrorCursor() AttributeError: setArrorCursor mozart [~/]> I think in this particular case I had swithched workspaces while 'up2date' was installing the packages. When I went back, it had this failure. The packages were all installed correctly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mozart [~/]> rpm -qa|grep up2date up2date-2.7.61-7.x.2 up2date-gnome-2.7.61-7.x.2 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run up2date 2.When packages start installing, switch to another workspace 3.When you think it's probably done, switch back to your xterm with 'up2date'; observe the error. At least that's how I *think* I've seen it... Actual Results: mozart [~/]> up2date Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 832, in doInstallation self.setArrorCursor() AttributeError: setArrorCursor mozart [~/]> Expected Results: mozart [~/]> up2date mozart [~/]> ;) Additional info: Running Redhat-7.2 with all the current patches (according to 'up2date').
Found similar problem. switched active windows in front of up2date (mozilla 1.0) , and was updating to the latest rpms (glibc & gcc, bind, nscd) . gnome up2date froze while installing nscd.

changing it to ArrowCursor in line 832 seems to solve the problem of that particular silly error message. typo in the python code. happened to me too, and it's not finished installing the damned packages. *sigh* clean up time
This should be fixed in an upcoming errata.
