There's also an obsoletes option in yum.conf. That option you are talking about is for priorities.conf and would stop that rpmforge package obsoleting and replacing the base package?

Re: [CentOS] rpmforge problem
Hello, I have suffered the same problem you describe with clam updates. Finally it worked the upgrade from 0.92.XXX to 0.93. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i clam clamav-db-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386 clamd-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386 clamav-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386 The problem I had was that at starting the clamd the daemon it crashed claiming something about the database format was incorrect. As you can imagine I have uninstalled clam*; saved the configuration files; updatedb; locate -i clam; yum install clamav-db clamd clamav; re-tunned the conf files, rights, etc...; fresclam; and it is working again. Hope it helps. Regards, P.S.: Yes, I do love top-posting if it helps (before some taliban says something to me, the list is to help people.

Re: [CentOS] rpmforge checksum errors
Peter Kjellstrom napsal(a): We see it too. My assumption is that it has to do with slow mirror sync somehow. It seems a bunch of mirrors typically sit on a old or new version that does not work with the local data (previously pulled from another mirror). My typical fix is to ignore it (either it finds a mirror eventually that's compatible or I try again later...). My fix is 'yum clean all', it helps.

Dag Wieers wrote on Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:21:38 +0200 (CEST): I wonder if this could be related to the fact that the metadata and data are synchronized independently and not with the rsync --delay-updates options. The error refers to the metadata only it seems. What exactly does this check *do* check? If it is some hash check of the primary.xml.gz the status of the repo should not have any effect on it. If it is a consistency check about the sync status between metadata and data, then, yes, I would expect an error if they don't match.

It's sure not a network issue. Don't experience it at the moment as yum is still using the cached files. Mirroring rpmforge locally is really not what I want as I don't need 99% of the files and have only a few machines here locally. What can I do for getting more information when it happens next time?
