That behavior (no response to ^C [SIGINT] within 5 seconds) is a bug. It's a _transaction_, right? So either it completes successfully, or fails with no apparent lasting effects (except log files, delay, etc.) So yum should: respond immediately on stderr, abort the transaction (roll back everything to the state before the transaction began), and terminate with failure status. Because the original request is for a transaction, then yum *must* be able to abort and rollback anyway, to recover from I/O errors [and such errors _do_ happen.] So, act as if ^C [SIGINT] is an I/O error. -- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
