Up2date hangs

[Philip Balister]

This morning up2date is reporting updates available for Fedora. So I run
it and they all download. When it starts installing, it just sits there hung.

Running rpm -Uvh *rpm in /var/spool/up2date gives:

[root@tentacle up2date]# rpm -Uvh *rpm
warning: acpid-1.0.2-5.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e418e3aa
error: open of <!DOCTYPE failed: No such file or directory
error: open of HTML failed: No such file or directory
error: open of PUBLIC failed: No such file or directory

Thoughts?

Had the same experience. Turns out it just had a lot to do - the 97
updates include some really large packages and it is just taking its
time to perform a big nasty RPM transaction. My 2.53GHz P4 took almost 5
minutes to start actually installing packages after the download was
complete.

Just be patient and it will all work.

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks, that appears to be my "problem" also.

You downloaded some "error 400" plain html files instead of RPM
packages. Try watching content of these files with a web browser and you
will see. Probably you are still using up2date from Fedora Core RC3,
update to latest version available at
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/Fedora/RPMS/
