Bug 267684 – Layman stopped working. It just doesn't do anything.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Beetle B. 2009-04-27 19:35:45 UTC]

A while ago, layman stopped working. I can get the help, but when I try to sync, get a list, it just sits there. If I ^C it, I get

^CTraceback (most recent call last):

I tried changing the layman version, but that didn't do anything. 

Reproducible: Always

Please run the `python-updater' program and then try layman again. I would definitely also help if you let it finish instead of killing the program before output has finished:

`layman | tee layman.out'

Then attach the file `layman.out' to this bug report.

[Comment 2 Beetle B. 2009-05-01 16:54:03 UTC]

I did python-updater, and it works now. Actually, maybe it always worked. It still takes a long time to do anything - I was probably pressing ^C perhaps too early. Listing remote repositories took over 3 minutes. Syncing took about 4 minutes. 

Don't know whether to mark this fixed or invalid...

[Comment 3 Patrick Lauer 2009-05-01 22:47:02 UTC]

Looks like a network issue ... not layman's fault as far as I can tell. Closing.
