F8 - F9 rpms
Most of you know I've had wireless card problems recently and decided to upgrade that box from F8 to F9 to see if this fixed some of that. Well it seems to have fixed /some/ but not all. At this stage Im content with it as is as far as the wireless goes, since it's up and Im in the middle of using it to test a new GigE circuit we're bringing up for my office. But, what bothers me now is the extraordinary number of F8 packages left on the box after the upgrade. I don't use 3rd party repos, so that's not really an issue. But what I don't get is, is that SOP for this upgrade? To have lots of F8 packages left? I mean it doesn't even look like there are F9 equivalents for various F8 packages I would call 'important' like fedora-usermgmt-shadow-utils. Part of the problem is that yum update completely implodes with dependency problems because of these legacy RPMs. I know some of them have F9 equivalents that were installed, but not all. I'm still working on a way to grep for all the packages that have both F8 and F9 on that system so I can remove the older ones. So, can someone explain to me why this is so? Or give me a way to find the duplicate packages a little more painlessly and dumping the rpm db into a file and manually looking for them? -- Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt -- Caius Julius Caesar Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Or give me a way to find the duplicate packages a little more painlessly and dumping the rpm db into a file and manually looking for them? Okay, I have more information on this. I think my rpmdb is completely FUBAR. This is what I'm seeing when I 'yum update php' (for example) ependencies Resolved = Package Arch Version RepositorySize = Updating: php i386 5.2.6-2.fc8 updates 1.2 M php-cli i386 5.2.6-2.fc8 updates 2.4 M php-common i386 5.2.6-2.fc8 updates 227 k php-ldapi386 5.2.6-2.fc8 updates 30 k php-mysql i386 5.2.6-2.fc8 updates 79 k php-odbci386 5.2.6-2.fc8 updates 47 k php-pdo i386 5.2.6-2.fc8 updates 61 k Installing for dependencies: openssl i386 0.9.8b-17.fc8fedora 1.4 M Note, all these are FC8 updates (apparently). Now, when I query rpm for php packages I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] temp]# rpm -qa | grep php php-5.2.5-7.fc9.i386 php-ldap-5.2.5-7.fc9.i386 php-odbc-5.2.5-7.fc9.i386 php-pdo-5.2.5-7.fc9.i386 php-mysql-5.2.5-7.fc9.i386 php-cli-5.2.5-7.fc9.i386 php-common-5.2.5-7.fc9.i386 So, it looks to me like I have F9 packages installed (at v5.2.5-7) but that the /updated/ php version is 5.2.6-2 F8? I'm getting the feeling this upgrade wasn't as complete as the GUI told me it was. Now, what do I do to fix this? -- Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt -- Caius Julius Caesar Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

If #yum repolist points to Fedora 9 repositories completely, you shouldn't have any problems. Yum can use -d range 1 to 9 to provide additional debugging information but simply disabling the Fedora 8 repositories and running the commands I have given should fix this issue.

Do check your *.repo files at a lower level, _not_ with yum repolist. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

That value is derived from /etc/fedora-release. If you are still unsure, substituting the variable with a hardcoded number would work for now.

Unless everything is hardcoded ;-) and the InstallMedia repo is based on $releasever=8. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

That was the culprit, I'm not able to get all my F9 updates.
