I also have a yum bugzilla report open for this bug: https://devel.linux.duke.edu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=647 (I can't create an external Bugzilla reference, because the Duke/yum bugzilla site doesn't appear to be one of the options.) yes, we know. the same people get them in both places. no need to file it twice. Noted. (Some people, like Mike Harris, always want to move bugs upstream if possible, so I wasn't sure.) What's the output of 'rpm -qa | grep openldap'? Created attachment 136877 [details]
output of "yum -d 10 update seamonkey-chat"
I can't reproduce the openldap problem (as I already upgraded those packages),
but here's another example caused by trying to upgrade seamonkey-chat.
The package breakdown is:
$ rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n' | grep -i
seamonkey | sort
seamonkey-1.0.3-0.el4.1.x86_64.rpm
seamonkey-chat-1.0.3-0.el4.1.x86_64.rpm
seamonkey-devel-1.0.3-0.el4.1.x86_64.rpm
seamonkey-dom-inspector-1.0.3-0.el4.1.x86_64.rpm
seamonkey-js-debugger-1.0.3-0.el4.1.x86_64.rpm
seamonkey-mail-1.0.3-0.el4.1.x86_64.rpm
seamonkey-nspr-1.0.3-0.el4.1.x86_64.rpm
seamonkey-nspr-devel-1.0.3-0.el4.1.x86_64.rpm
seamonkey-nss-1.0.3-0.el4.1.x86_64.rpm
seamonkey-nss-devel-1.0.3-0.el4.1.x86_64.rpm
Can you try with yum 2.9.6 and see if this still happens? It looks to me like things should be fixed there (not that I then see an easy backport, but I want to at least see that things are fixed in the current code) Created attachment 136961 [details]
yum-2.9.6 output of "yum -d 10 update seamonkey-chat"
I rebuilt yum-2.9.6-1.src.rpm from Fedora Development for RHEL4, but it fails
in a different manner (see the attached output).
I'm using createrepo-0.4.4-0.2 on the repo server (also a RHEL4 box). Am I
missing newer bits that yum-2.9.6 needs?
okay - running 2.9.6 on rhel 4's rpm probably won't work. so that won't be a good test. Sigh. I'm going to open a service request for Red Hat to backport the yum infrastructure in RHEL5 to RHEL4, but I'm not going to hold my breath. In the meantime, for sites like us who are going to put yum on RHEL4, what's your recommendation for the best (as in, least likely to die/crash) version of yum to use? you should run yum 2.4.3 on rhel4. 2.6 _might_ work - but I can't guarantee that. Well, if 2.6 worked, then I probably wouldn't have filed this in the first place. ;) But regardless: noted; thanks. |
