Hi,
Just a small thing but I was wondering if anyone was working on
improving the error messages that yum gives out. For example, if you run
"yum list updates" as non-root you get the screen filling up with
hundreds of instances of things like
"
Cannot download
http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1/headers/rusers-0-0.17-32.i386.hdr
in caching only mode or when running as non-root user.
Deleting entry from Available packages
"
Wouldn't it be better to simply output one line such as "You need to be
root to do that"?
Cheers,
Raphael
P.S.
yum --version
2.0.4
on fedora FC1
