You realize how > hard it is for me to fix a bug if no one reports it, right? this (see below) is a traceback of one of the yum updates which came not back (I killed the process after a day). Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 253, in main clientStuff.download_headers(HeaderInfo, nulist) File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 993, in download_headers checkfunc=(rpmUtils.checkheader, (n, a), {})) File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 1327, in grab bandwidth, conf.retries, retrycodes, checkfunc) File "/usr/share/yum/urlgrabber.py", line 237, in retrygrab progress_obj, throttle, bandwidth) File "/usr/share/yum/urlgrabber.py", line 338, in urlgrab _do_grab(filename, fo, progress_obj, raw_throttle) File "/usr/share/yum/urlgrabber.py", line 376, in _do_grab block = fo.read(bs) File "/usr/share/yum/keepalive.py", line 235, in read s = self._rbuf + self._raw_read(amt) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line 409, in read s = self.fp.read(amt) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/socket.py", line 301, in read data = self._sock.recv(recv_size) socket.error: (4, 'Interrupted system call') I'm not sure if it helps, maybe the traceback is not correct.
