Can someone shed some more light on the stability issues that this update addresses? Is there a way to tell if a machine is having these problems? I had just updated my servers and would rather not have to do it again so soon. thanks, Steve Gaarder System Administrator, Dept of Mathematics

Re: [SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS] Yum update fails with conflict between device-mapper-event and lvm2-libs

2018-01-05 Thread Steve Gaarder
There's a known issue with dependencies that they say is fixed if you upgrade to lvm2-libs-2.02.111 or later. I had the problem on a 6.2 machine earlier today, but a 6.4 machine worked ok just now, updating to lvm2-libs.i686 0:2.02.143-12.el6. Steve Gaarder System Administrator, De

It would be very helpful to me if I could have some idea of when SL 7.1 is likely to emerge. That will tell me whether I can just wait or need to come up with some kind of workaround for the EPEL problem. thanks, Steve Gaarder System Administrator, Dept of Mathematics Cornell University

In that case, I'm thinking that it could be useful to maintain an EPEL mirror that does not get updated between TUV's release and the SL release. I could do that for my own use or it could be a community effort. Thoughts? Steve Gaarder System Administrator, Dept of Mathemati
