Hide Forgot
Description of problem: When I use yum -y update to refresh my system and re-direct the output to a file, I see those pesky ctrl-M characters that I associate with Microsoft Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: The exact command I used was (date; yum -y update; date;) >& yumUpdate_08jul11.txt Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above 2. 3. Actual results: Lots of ctrl-M characters Expected results: No ctrl-M characters Additional info: Thanks in advance! Paul
Confirmed and hopefully fixed.
Thanks for quick confirm and (hopeful) fix. I'll look forward to hearing that fix is verified and pushed out into F14 branch Paul
It's fixed upstream ... the probability of getting this backported to F14, or F14 getting a rebase is very small. You can use the rawhide rebuild repo. if you really need it (although rawhide hasn't changed since this was fixed, so you'll have to wait a few days for the next update there too). F15 _might_ get a rebase, in which case this would probably be included. So, if that happens, you could either move to F15 or use: yum --releasever15 upgrade yum
Thanks for the information. I can work around it with either vim or sed. I'll plan on picking it up whenever I move up to next release that gets it (F16 or maybe F15) Paul
