I am trying to use rpmfind-0.98 to update *all* packages installed on my
box. This may be an abuse of the tool, but the command I'm using is:
rpmfind --latest `rpm -qa --queryformat '%{name}\n' | sort -u`
Things work for the first thirty packages or so. After that, though,
all remaining packages produce errors of the following form:
Error fetching <foo> metadata
Toward the end of the run, I also receive several of the following
errors:
rpmFetchDistribList: failed to grab distrib list
Is the server end disconnecting me after some maximum number of
requests? Is this a horrible misuse of the tool for which my
electricity privileges should be revoked? Or is there a bug somewhere?
