Description Patrik Kis 2012-11-28 09:57:09 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #773512 +++

Description of problem:

I made a yum call with a typo:

yum upodate kernel --enablerepo=updates-testing (I meant ... update ...)

It seems yum does a lot of not useful things before it sees the syntax error:

yum upodate kernel --enablerepo=updates-testing
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

*** Bug 796757 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Note, the above two scenarios (one here and one in 796757) can be reproduced on RHEL-6.3 but need either langpacks or fastestmirror plugin.
