Hello all,
This bug has been originally reported against yum/FC3 by Rahul Sundaram
and continues to thrive...
In essence, once yum begins to download files, it misinterprets Ctrl-C
as "Mirror switch" instead of "Cancel", leaving the user no direct
way
to halt yum.
This has been considered a feature by a fair number of users.
(I usually suspend yum [Ctrl-Z] and then kill it using "killall
-9 yum"
which is -far- from being an ideal solution).
Outside of downloading files you should be able to cancel yum at any
time in recent cvs pulls.
Any chance of getting this fixed before FC6?
I'm not sure we'll ever be fixing the mirror skip thing or not.
