fedora 13 smart no progress window freeze

[Fahad Alduraibi]

After installing Fedora 13, smart stopped showing progress dialogs (such as when fetching new repo data, or when installing, updating a package) and the program will freeze and the window is not responsive but after the job is finished it will go back to normal.
I talked about this issue in the irc channel and one guy directed me to this patch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~smartpm/smart/qt/revision/885 which solved the problem.

Smart version: 1.3 (from fedora repos)
Fedora 13 (Kernel: 2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686.PAE)
Python 2.6.4

I also checked the code for the next version 1.3.1 and did not see the patch there, that is why i though that i should report it.

This is a regression in glib 2.24. It has been mentioned earlier on the mailing list, but nobody cared to report a bug for it.

[Anders F Björklund (afb)]

Suggested workaround. This is not going in, but can be applied on broken systems.

Description of problem:

When an action such as "Update channels", or "Upgrade all packages" is selected there is no window displayed to show what the program is doing, making it appear that the program is dead.

1.3

How reproducible:

Always occurs

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start smart
2. Click on "Upgrade all packages" button

Actual results:

No progress window is displayed

Expected results:

Additional info:

This problem has been reported upstream, and a temporary fix was suggested while awaiting a "proper" fix from the maintainer. See

for details.

[Anders F Björklund (afb)]

Hackaround will be to make sure that progress is updated once for each channel, fetch or package.

Thanks for the fix and update.
