 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Mike, first thanks for the response.

I'm trying to use the Fedora repos to accomplish this, Fedora 19 in this
case.
I get this:

Is there a way to tell YUM to go ahead and update these packages?
(Assuming the newer version(s) is (are) backwards compatable?)

BTW, I started by doing:

sudo yum remove 'kvm*'
sudo yum remove 'qemu*'
sudo yum remove 'virt*'

... to clean the slate, so to speak.

[Qemu-discuss] qemu-sparc vs qemu-system-sparc

2019-07-16 Thread John Chludzinski
I installed CentOS 7.6 then installed all things QEMU on my machine. I have
a SPARC image I need to bringing up in a VM. I've been using
*qemu-system-sparc*.

$ qemu-system-sparc -m 256 -hda solaris_v2-qemu_v2.2.0.disk -nographic
-bios ./openbios-sparc32

This is on a box on which I have Fedora-30 installed.

Can I use *qemu-sparc* to bring up my Solaris image:
*solaris_v2-qemu_v2.2.0.disk* ?

If so, how?

BTW, *qemu-sparc* come with (on CentOS 7.6):

$ sudo yum install qemu*

*PS> I've tried to install qemu-system-sparc on my CentOS box but ended up
in a never-ending whack-a-mole game of dependencies.*
