the traceback that causes the freeze
This is the traceback which causes the up2date GUI to freeze. I'm attaching it
in case it helps Red Hat to fix the GUI freeze.
I'll take a look at catching generic expections for the gui at that point, and existing more forcefully. As much as I dislike coding in generic catch all exception handlers, adding one at the top level is probabaly acceptable. But that error is bubbling up from way deep down in the xml parsing library. Pretty obtuse error case (the system libs exploded...) Changing from Red Hat 9 to Fedora Core 2, as this bug still affects FC2. (I haven't tried the exact testcase I originally used, but I've seen other tracebacks freeze up the up2date GUI.) Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Ok, I'll retest with FC3 and/or rawhide at some point in the next few days. (Putting this back into NEEDINFO state pending comment #5.... Thanks....) I didn't get to retest yet due to a family emergency. I'll try to do this ASAP, but if I don't manage to do it tonight, I may not get to it for another week. Sorry about this. Ok, I retested, it still happens with FC3 (up2date 4.3.47-5). I'll try to retest with FC4t2 or a recent rawhide, but I don't know if I'll be able to do that tonight. Thanks! I just reproduced this with FC4t2 as well (up2date-4.4.9-1). I also just reproduced it with up2date-4.4.17-1 from rawhide (with the rest of the system running with FC4t2 packages). In any case, up2date is no longer shipped with Fedora Core; its functionality has been replaced by pup, found in the pirut package. The only fixes likely to be made to up2date in RedHat Linux and earlier Fedora Core versions are security fixes by Fedora Legacy. This does not seem to be a security bug, so I'm closing it. If the problem is appropriate to RHEL and occurs to a user there, it can be filed as such. |
