version 4.1.10-1 suffers from this bug, too. The only difference: the window is redrawn, if you move it around. doesn't work for Athlon based processors hangs on "testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies" but was able to install on my PIII laptop after waiting 5 or so minutes at that dialog box. up2date-4.1.12-1 may not be able to install all packages at a time might have to install a couple at a time, amd that is very annoying :{ Yeah seperating the download worked. It just didn't like all those files at one time. Very annoying indeed version 4.1.12-1 didn't solve the problem, according to my testing. Given the rawhide status Oct. 29, 2003 you can't update all rawhide packages, if on the system w3c-libwww, which delivers libmd5, being installed, which is needed by one of the packages (if I remember correctly redhad-config-*). As soon as you install w3c-libwww up2date works. version 4.1.12-1 also hangs in case You select a package for update which depends on a updated package, which is not selected. Given rawhide Oct. 29 you can test by trying to update the gcc* packages without selecting the corresponding lib* packages, too. This problem still doesn't seem to be fixed in 4.1.14-2. It seems the problem lies in the package dependency checking, because that's usually where up2date hangs. You know what I think? I think some developer slipped an infinite loop or pause statement into up2date! (hehe, just kidding) ;-) I really hope this problem is resolved before the November release of Fedora. Up2date does not hangs, it just attempts to download _all_ header files for _all_ available packages. This only happens the first time around (it caches the headers it downloaded). This is a deficiency of the Yum protocol, not up2date's fault - see bug 107968. Also see bug 108814 which asks for a progress bar (to combat the "it just hangs" perception). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 107968 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
