Hmmm, you can disable that check if you want to continue trying to avoid an errata for AS2.1. I'd rather fix with an errata however. So what is needed? >so what is needed?
eh? needed for what?
a fix or a workaround is what I'm looking for.
How would I disable the check?
The check is disabled by ignoring this problem:
case RPMPROB_OLDPACKAGE:
rc = snprintf(buf, nb,
_("package %s (which is newer than %s) is already installed"),
altNEVR, pkgNEVR);
break;
Note that there are other consequences of disabling this check,
I recommend errata still.
what consequences? adding ~rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_OLDPACKAGE
to the ts doesnt seem to help, aka
rc = ts.run(transflag, ~rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_OLDPACKAGE , rpmCallback,
cfg.readEntry("storageDir"))
Am I adding this at the wrong place, or the wrong flag?
The consequences are that you are disabling a sanity check, so all consequences of disabling belong to you/up2date. Hm, I think it's an enable, not a disable, to ignore so negating with twiddle ain't the right thing to do. Checking rpm-4.2.1 ... yes, it's enable to ignore, so take the twiddle off. Assuming rpm-4.0.x is similar. BTW, in rpm-4.1 and later the call is a seperate method. From python/rpmts-py.c: * - ts.setProbFilter(ignoreSet) Set transaction set problem filter. * @param problemSetFilter - control bit(s) to ignore classes of problems, * a logical or of one or more of the following bit(s): * - rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_IGNOREOS - * - rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_IGNOREARCH - * - rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_REPLACEPKG - * - rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_FORCERELOCATE - * - rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_REPLACENEWFILES - * - rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_REPLACEOLDFILES - * - rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_OLDPACKAGE - * - rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_DISKSPACE - * @return previous ignoreSet okay, no twiddle seems to work. I could of sworn I tried that though, amongst a dozen other things. Seems to at least get past this hurdle. |
Description of problem: transaction created that remove a package, and try to install a new one, seem to cause errors about attempting to install an older package even though the newer is being removed in the transaction set. live.[root@i386-21as root]# rpm -q rpm rpm-4.0.4-7x.20 .live.[root@i386-21as root]# /usr/share/rhn/actions/packages.py removing: amanda-devel-2.4.2p2-4 removing: apel-10.6-1 removing: openssh-2.9p2-7 removing: openssh-askpass-2.9p2-7 removing: openssh-askpass-gnome-2.9p2-7 removing: openssh-clients-2.9p2-7 removing: openssh-server-2.9p2-7 removing: rdate-1.3-3 removing: xsnow-1.42-11 adding: abiword-0.7.14-7 adding: apel-10.3-2 adding: openssh-3.1p1-8 adding: openssh-askpass-3.1p1-8 adding: openssh-askpass-gnome-3.1p1-8 adding: openssh-clients-3.1p1-8 adding: openssh-server-3.1p1-8 adding: rdate-1.0-8 adding: xsnow-1.40-14 gh0 gh1 rc: [('package apel-10.6-1 (which is newer than apel-10.3-2) is already installed', (8, None, 0L)), ('package rdate-1.3-3 (which is newer than rdate-1.0-8) is +already installed', (8, None, 0L)), ('package xsnow-1.42-11 (which is newer than xsnow-1.40-14) is already installed', (8, None, 0L))] (0, 'packages.transaction ran successfully', {}) This is seen in the runTransaction code being backported to AS2.1
