Hello,
I am running "zypper -n -q refresh" regularly from a cron job. This was working fine in the last couple of weeks. But yesterday, it just got stuck. Today, I noticed that it was hanging for about 20 hours, eating all the available CPU. It also filled all my /var partition with a 16GB logfile. Then I killed it (twice). The only output was:
Timeout exceed
OK OK! Exiting immediately...
Most of the logfile contains lines like this:
2009-01-15 20:49:10 <2> raven(29162) [zypper] prompt.cc(read_action_ari_with_timeout):129 Unknown char 377
(the 377 is actually the byte 0xff which less shows in octal format)
This looks to me like zypper is ignoring the -n switch and trying to read from stdin. It also looks like the end-of-file condition on stdin is not handled correctly.
Here are the last couple of lines before the "Unknown char" lines:
Any ideas?
I believe this has already been fixed, you are probably using an old zypper(?). If not please open a bug report. It's much better to report such problems via bugzilla, it will reach developers more easily. - -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team - ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 - ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz - ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)--- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkl11GwACgkQgEhGpmN+6QE/BACfWaW7b6tsOHDxfm7zLQVPA/Gg yGAAn0M+hdxK9QO/9frTvcNRAlo016/k =nYHA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
