This appears to be an issue with rpm silently failing in the package install phase. The data that updates the website is based on a delta of the packages removed/added, but in these cases, this data is bogus. The fixes seem to be to fix rpm to not fail this way, and to calculate the package list deltas from the equilivent of "rpm -qa before up2date" and "rpm -qa after up2date" instead of "rpm -qa before up2date" + the packages that rpm claims it installed. Some work has already been started on fixing rpm to handle these cases better. This should be fixed in the versions of the client in 7.3 What is it about your system that won't allow htdig to be installed? I can't replicate the error (htdig installs successfully), so I can't replicate. Also, what version of RH Linux are you running, platform, etc... No updates for a month, unable to duplicate, will presume that latest up2date and rpm fix this. Closing. |
