Hi, The Bugzilla did not allow me to register, so I report a problem here. Yum had bad response to CTRL-C in various of situations. For example, in case of a DNS lookup failure, - run "yum -y install openoffice.org-langpack-zh_CN", and cancel it when starting to download RPM packages. Downloading Packages: (1/10): openoffice.org-draw-cor (0%) 28% [====== ] 13 kB/s | 304 kB 00:59 ETA (1/10): openoffice.org-draw-core-3.0.0-4.2.fc10.x86_64.rpm | 336 kB 00:02 Current download cancelled, interrupt (ctrl-c) again within two seconds to exit. ^C Exiting on user cancel - change all nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf to incorrect IPs. - run "yum -y install openoffice.org-langpack-zh_CN" again, and try to cancel it. Then, the session could not be cancelled, Downloading Packages: ^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C Current download cancelled, interrupt (ctrl-c) again within two seconds to exit. ^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/development/x86_64/os/Packages/openoffice.org-draw-core-3.0.0-4.2.fc10.x86_64.rpm: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')> Trying other mirror. http://fedora.secsup.org/linux/development/x86_64/os/Packages/openoffice.org-draw-core-3.0.0-4.2.fc10.x86_64.rpm: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')> Trying other mirror. ... No matter how many and quickly CTRL-C typed, it kept trying all mirrors. If I added the following dirty workaround patch, I could finally exit it, although it was not responded immediately, and I had to hit CTRL-C several times. --- urlgrabber-3.0.0/urlgrabber/grabber.py~ 2008-09-09 18:06:50.000000000 +0800 +++ urlgrabber-3.0.0/urlgrabber/grabber.py 2008-09-09 22:06:15.000000000 +0800 @@ -1218,6 +1218,8 @@ except HTTPException, e: raise URLGrabError(7, _('HTTP Exception (%s): %s') % \ (e.__class__.__name__, e)) + except KeyboardInterrupt: + exit (0) else: return (fo, hdr) Maybe we should rewrite it in C to get better performance?
