Captured screen output from "yum update"
Do you have the autofs package (the .rpm) on your system? I'm curious to know if you can rpm -Uvh autofs-5.0.1-rc3.26.i386.rpm. If that fails, we should explore the errors reported from rpm. My hunch is that the conflicts line in the package might have something to do with it: Conflicts: kernel < 2.6.17 It *shouldn't* cause a problem, but I'd like to verify that it isn't causing a problem. I installed an older version of autofs rpm -Uhv autofs-5.0.1-0.rc3.19.i386.rpm and then did a "yum update" again. It only updated autofs and installed the latest version of the kernel. Installing: kernel i686 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 updates 16 M kernel-devel i686 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 updates 4.7 M Updating: autofs i386 1:5.0.1-0.rc3.26 updates 774 k Weirdly enough, it did not remove the old 2911 kernel this time, nor did it update the remaining packages that it did not get around to last time. I did a "rpm --rebuilddb" but it did not make any difference. I then looked at what was actually installed. The 2911 kernel is really gone, but more troubling is that openssh was updated to openssh-4.3p2-18.fc6 (good) but the other three openssh packages ( openssh-askpass, openssh-clients & openssh-server ) are gone. This is strange and looks like a bug in yum. I checked yum.log and saw nothing strange and check messages looking for disk errors -- nothing. I then checked the output of "rpm -q -a" against the list of packages that were supposed to be updated. The following packages are missing in rpm (and remember I have done a rpm --rebuilddb): audit-libs-python ekida evolution-data-server-devel firefox-devel gnupg ntp openssh-askpass openssh-clients openssh-server readahead selinux-policy-targeted tcpdump vim-enhanced vim-minimal rpm says these packages are gone but for most of these ex-packages the files are still present. This is just getting too weird. I've manually "rpm -Uhv ..."d the 'missing' packages and other than the large number of *.rpmsave and *.rpmorig files created everything 'installed' okay. I've found lots of collateral (but fixable) damage but have been unable to reproduce the original failure. I think the thing to do is just call this all a glitch in yum and close this bug for now. It can be re-opened if somebody else has the same problem. |
