Download confirmation now not prompts me!

[Parshwa Murdia]

hi,
In a sudden changing manner, now if I try to update the system, using
the command,

[fedorax@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@localhost ~]# yum update

It doesn't prompt me to type in 'y' or 'n' if some downloadable update
is there unlike earlier when I used to type in 'yes' to download a
particular package of some size and update the system. Not only in
this command but in some other commands also, I have the same thing
repeating when I am not being prompted for tying in 'y' or 'n' for the
confirmation of download. Why could this happen all of a sudden?

What is the output of "echo config assumeyes | yum shell" ?

Here is the output:

[fedorax@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:

[root@localhost ~]# echo config assumeyes | yum shell

Loaded plugins: protectbase, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Yum Shell

> Leaving Shell

Really ambiguous situation! Still it is a problem!

Make sure `yum' is not aliased to `yum -y'. What does the following say?

# type yum

[fedorax@localhost ~]$ type yum
yum is /usr/bin/yum

But could you please be elaborating a little for a proper grasping. Thanks.

It means "yum is yum"

Had it been aliased to "yum -y" it would have read something like...

yum is aliased to `yum -y'

So what I do now? Why that problem might have come so suddenly?

Could you post the output of an actual yum session? Maybe try to set
the yum debug level to 10 and install something and post the output?

# yum --debuglevel=10 install <some_random_package>

Hi,
How can I post the output of actual yum level? what I am intended to do for
this? If you cannot give all the steps, there is no problem if you have some
other sort of solution having a possibility!

Just run the command I posted with the package of your choice instead
of the "<some_random_package>". There are no secret steps behind it.

Okay, I try that.
