On redhat-list someone reported this bug to be still present in Psyche: https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/redhat-list/2002-December/162634.html
Should be fixed in 3.1.50 or so. Or at least, every way/time/place I can possibly think of hitting "view advisory" seems to work
up2date 3.1.46-2 in Severn gives: No package selected. Select a package first. Is that a work-around for empty advisories or unexpected behaviour?
work around? Not really. You have to select a package before it can get the advisory info for it.
Funny that you think I'm *that* stupid. Of course did I select a package beforehand. But this is Severn -- a beta -- so, what should I get instead of "No package selected. Select a package first."? An empty advisory maybe?
Not assuming anyone is stupid (aside from myself, and thats no assumption...). But there is a distinction between selecting package to be updated (check the check mark) and selecting it for seeing advisory info (click the row so that it's highlighted in blue) that is fairly non obvious. (to be fixed, but low on the priority list...). I should probabaly add a comment about that in the error text, if I can come up with wording that doesnt confuse the matter more.
Well, that's a bad wording indeed, especially due to the "Select all packages" checkbox at the top. At least the error message could say to "highlight" a package. That would have helped [me]. Or you could highlight the top entry by default. ;)
