Description James Wilkinson 2012-03-26 12:13:06 UTC
Description of problem:
Hi. I'm on an IPv4-only network with a mandatory non-transparent proxy (i.e. the only way to access the WWW is by configuring clients to use a proxy). When I try to run fedora-easy-karma, it gives me a traceback almost immediately.

Exporting HTTP_PROXY or http_proxy doesn't seem to help.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fedora-easy-karma-0-0.15.20110825git36efb338.fc15.noarch
python-fedora-0.3.26-1.fc15.noarch

How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Firewall off direct access to the Internet, but ensure you have access to an HTTP proxy.
2. http_proxy=http://proxy:80/ fedora-easy-karma
  
Actual results:
Getting list of installed packages...
Getting list of packages in updates-testing...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fedora-easy-karma", line 510, in <module>
    FedoraEasyKarma()
  File "/usr/bin/fedora-easy-karma", line 310, in __init__
    testing_updates = bc.query(release=release, status="testing", limit=1000)["updates"]
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fedora/client/bodhi.py", line 147, in query
    return self.send_request('list', req_params=params, auth=auth)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fedora/client/baseclient.py", line 344, in send_request
    auth_params=auth_params, retries=retries)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fedora/client/proxyclient.py", line 387, in send_request
    request.perform()
pycurl.error: (7, 'Failed to connect to 2001:4178:2:1269::fed2: Network is unreachable')

Identical results occur if I use HTTP_PROXY or nothing at all.

Additional info:
yum works fine (*if* I configure mirrorlist not to use https, but that's a different bug), and the system is fully updated. I specify the proxy in /etc/yum.conf, but yum will work without that if it gets the right environment variables.

Presumably, you'll get the same crash if the whole network connection goes away!

Uh, I did not yet mean to submit my changes.

Can you please try to the variable "HTTPS_PROXY", note the extra "S" and the upper case of all characters, and maybe try both variables.

Comment 2 James Wilkinson 2012-03-27 09:05:57 UTC
Grrr. Sorry, I should have thought of that. It now no longer crashes. It doesn't report any RPMs (even though I have thunderbird-11.0-5.fc15.x86_64 installed, which is in F15 updates-testing, confirmed at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=307579), but it doesn't crash.

and that's it.

Can you please test with http_proxy in lower case. HTTPS_PROXY should work with either case.

Comment 6 Till Maas 2012-03-27 16:42:53 UTC
Do you have other packages installed from testing except te thunderbird update? you won't be bugged for it anymore, because it is already requested to be pushed to stable:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-3950/thunderbird-11.0-5.fc17,thunderbird-lightning-1.3-3.fc17?_csrf_token=3f38d1ed99b685fb491140918e9a84d8fb5830da

Comment 7 James Wilkinson 2012-03-28 16:38:33 UTC
Looks like my other testing packages have also been pushed too, then: I installed clamtk (which only went to testing overnight), and it now seems to be working properly.

Sorry for the noise, and thanks for the help,

James
