Description Glen A. Foster 2003-07-08 14:48:42 UTC
Description of problem: While trying to run up2date for AS2.1/x86 using an
enterprise account for HP, I get the following repeatable transaction output:

[root@rhn-x86 root]# up2date -d --nox -u

Fetching package list for channel: redhat-advanced-server-i386...
########################################

Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: redhat-advanced-server-i386...

Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...
########################################
XFree86-4.1.0-49.RHEL.i386. ########################## Done.
There was a fatal error communicating with the server.  The message was:
Error

... kinda hard to tell what the real problem is, looks like there's some sort of
unexpected errno being returned and perror() has no string to print.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q up2date 
up2date-2.8.45-1.2.1AS

How reproducible: 100% (always)

Closing, as I'm unable to reproduce this. Thanks for fixing whatever
it was you changed...
