should be fixed in 3.9.28 or later |
Description of problem: If up2date sees a newer version of itself, it offers to update itself and then restart. If you have up2date configured to download packages but not install them, up2date still tries to restart itself even though it hasn't really installed anything. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): uh oh.... I already manually updated up2date and didn't record my previous version. I just updated to 3.9.28-2. I don't remember what was there before, but I had updated up2date once manually from rawhide since installing SEVERN after the certificate had expired. How reproducible: unknown Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure up2date with up2date-config to download packages but not install them 2. run an old version of up2date that supports updating itself Actual results: Upon user answering "yes" to question about whether up2date should update itself and restart, up2date downloaded the new up2date, didn't install it, and then tried to restart. The restart failed. warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 897da07a warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e418e3aa Restarting up2date _X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for local _X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for local _X11TransOpen: transport open failed for local/soup.in.ql.org:0 No interactive mode available Please specify either -l, -u, --nox, or package names as command line arguments. usage: up2date [OPTIONS] [<packages>] [... up2date usage message deleted ...] Expected results: Either up2date should have not offered to update itself but installed told the user to install the updated up2date package or it should have interpreted the "yes" as an instruction to override the configured behavior of download without updating. I don't think "Let's not and say we did" approach is a good alternative. Additional info: Although I am mentioning that up2date failed to restart, this is not the main point of the bug report. That seems to have already been reported elsewhere (based on my query) though the problem I'm reporting: specific interaction between up2date configured in download-only mode and offering to update itself, seems not to have been previously reported (or I missed it in my query).
