It is ment to update Oldworld machines from YDL3 to YDL4, but should work for all machines.
and all went well in the beginning: [Step2]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] yellowdog-4.0]# rpm -qa | grep ^glibc glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.24 glibc-common-2.3.1-51a glibc-devel-2.3.1-51a glibc-2.3.1-51a [EMAIL PROTECTED] yellowdog-4.0]# --
Then something strange happened when I issued the next command:
# rpm -qa|grep ^glibc|grep -v kernheaders|xargs rpm --justdb --nodeps -ev
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
It isn't verbose!!
That is not too important ...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qa|grep ^glibc glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.24 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
So it seems to have run OK.
But:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# yum install glibc Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: YellowDog Linux 4.0 os Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers No Packages Available for Update or Install No actions to take [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
Here something goes wrong, It should find glibc and installs it.
REMEMBER YOUR RPMDB IS INCONSISTANT NOW !!!
What can I do to fix this? Manually RPMing this brings up a looong chain of dependancies not met. Should I pursue them?
Double check your yum.conf ... Look in the .hdr files if there is a glibc hdr inside there
I updated 1 machine usning this procedure last weekend over http:// and all went fine...
