From first few of initial report...
I was doing a system update. Normally my web requests go through squid to take advantage of a large local (6GB) disk cache for various downloaded objects. However, >>>yast<< also pays attention to the global vars HTTP_PROXY and friends, and uses them during its operations. Normally not a problem. -------- I was running the GUI version of YaST -- the same would likely happen with zypper -- I mean they have to pay attention to the proxy, it just so happens if they are updating the proxy package AND it is running on the same machine, ... *cough*; *choke*. Probably need to check if running through a proxy, does proxy addr reverse DNS evaluate to the reverse DNS of the current machine?... That would have prevented my 'hiccup'..., but better would be to loop through all the interface addresses and see if any match the proxy in case I was using a name associated with a different interface ?? Is this the information you were looking for? Should be able to download squid, run the install, then restart it, then continue with downloading more packages....just have to be sure to not be downloading while squid is restarting. Ideally closing the connection ... doesn't usually take squid long to restart if there are no connections -- a few seconds. Should be able to update squid while it is running unless the update deletes the cache directory or something. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
