I couldn't agree more that this is silly. But then this whole process is silly. I tried running up2date. It told me my kernel was excluded and I couldn't update without the kernel update. I tried to fix that but couldn't, I have an email into redhat now about that. In the mean time, while I wait on Red Hat, I thought I'd update the kernel straight away. I now have the problem described below.
Where is the readline rpm? It ain't here updates.redhat.com/7.1/en/os/i386/ Ernie -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ed Wilts Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2003 5:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Upgrading 7.1 kernel problem On Sun, Feb 02, 2003 at 04:30:31PM -0500, Ernest Ellingson wrote: > I'm trying to upgrade the kernel using 2.4.18-19.7.x.i386.rpm. Silly question...why don't you configure up2date and let it figure it out for you? If dependencies are missing, they'll be automatically installed. This will save you a *lot* of time hunting stuff like this down. And yes, the kernel is available through up2date. > I've got the dependencies down to just 2. > > 1. filesystem >=2.1.0 is needed by mkinitrd-3.2.6-1 > 2. libreadline.so.4 is needed by kernel-utils-2.4-8.13.7.2 > > I've ftped to updates.redhat.com/7.1/en/os/i386 several times today > for various dependencies but I can't seem to find any > filesystem.rpm(s). I have a filesystem-2.1 rpm. If the package hasn't been updated, you won't find it in the updates directory. Did you check to see what version you currently have installed? I didn't think it was optional... Mine was installed well over a year ago so it hasn't been updated recently, if at all. > Also, I have no clue where to find libreadline.so.4 libreadline.so.4 is in the readline rpm.
