Description Ben Russo 2003-03-28 16:28:52 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

Description of problem:
openssl-0.9.6b-30-7.src.rpm  for RedHat Advanced Server is not
available on the ftp sites...  It seems to only be availabe via
the RHN service.

I have an RHAS 2.1 licensed server, it is registered with RHN,
it is already completely up2date.

I try to get the source rpm using up2date:
[root@bonzo root]# up2date --download --src openssl

Retrieving list of all available packages...

Removing installed packages from list of updates...

Removing packages with files not specified from list...
There are no packages available for update.
None of the packages you requested were found, or they are already updated.

I try the same thing with --force option, it returns the same error.

I sent an e-mail to the customer service desk through RHN and they told me to
use the web interface to download the source RPM.  Although I agree that this is
a valid workaround, it would be nice if up2date would do what the options
obviously imply.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-2.7.61-7.x.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a package using up2date
2. try to use up2date to download the source rpm for the package that is already
installed
    

Actual Results:  received the message that the packages were already updated,
and no download of the source RPM occurred.

Expected Results:  the Source RPM should have been downloaded into the "tmpdir"
for the up2date utility.

Additional info:

Apparently this is fixed in the versions of up2date used in the personal
editions of RedHat Linux, but not fixed in the advanced server line.

Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2004-08-20 20:27:24 UTC
current versions support "--get" and "--get-source" to download
a package directly

Comment 2 Ben Russo 2004-08-20 23:46:28 UTC
Installed latest versions of up2date, still doesn't work with either
(the unsupported option) --get-source, or with "-d --src"
