update stalls - completion not signalled
Last modified: 2010-08-04 11:48:15 UTC
Hi I just installed Opera, using the menu path Computer - Install software. The installation has been succesful, I am using Opera to make this report. But it has not completed. The update tool has stalled, it stalled half an hour ago. Opera works from the command line but does not yet have a menu entry. I do not know if it is signifficant that it is Opera, it may have stalled on almost anything.
Created attachment 261598 [details] Screenshot showing state the updater froze at
Created attachment 261599 [details] the only log file I can find that has updated today and seems relevant
rpm was running indefinitely, after the install completed. I have rebuilt the database for rpm and re-installed opera without problems. I feel that there should be some detection for failures in rpm, including looping indefinitely, in the package manager
That is hard to detect, i'm afraid there is not much we can do here. Anyway the resolution of 'FATURE' is used only if the feature is tracked in Fate (our feature tracking software), changing to enhancement, maybe others think there is something to improve here.
This is basically about detecting rpmdatabase corruptions. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 308352 ***
