Sorry, I have a better description of how to reproduce this bug/issue. install RHEL 6.0 workstation from the 64 bit dvd. choose "Install or upgrade an existing system" from syslinux menu. choose skip for media testing... choose fresh installation. choose replace existing Linux systems. choose "software development workstation." (after install finishes) don't register machine in RHN. create a account at firstboot. login to account. I needed to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and change ONBOOT="no" to ONBOOT="yes" to get networking working. insert 64 bit install DVD. cd /media/RHEL_6.0\ x86_64\ Disc\ 1/ cp media.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/ edit /etc/yum.repos.d/media.repo change: ---------------------------------------- [InstallMedia] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 mediaid=1285193686.718625 metadata_expire=-1 gpgcheck=0 cost=500 ---------------------------------------- to ---------------------------------------- [InstallMedia] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 baseurl=file:///media/RHEL_6.0%20x86_64%20Disc%201 mediaid=1285193686.718625 metadata_expire=-1 gpgcheck=0 cost=500 ---------------------------------------- next install RHEL 6.0 32 bit packages from the DVD install media now that the installmedia repo is set up: rpm -qa | grep x86_64 | sed 's@x86_64@i686@' | xargs yum -y install Next, register machine in Red Hat network so that system can be upgraded to 6.1... delete installmedia repo file: \rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/media.repo \rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/packagekit-media.repo Next, do a yum update: yum -y update The first problem is: --> Processing Conflict: python-devel-2.6.6-20.el6.x86_64 conflicts python < 2.6.6-20.el6 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: python-devel conflicts with python You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest doing a: yum remove python-devel followed by: yum -y update generates: Running Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/doc/iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872/README from install of iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-21.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-10.el6.i686 file /etc/rc.d/init.d/iscsi from install of iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-21.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-10.el6.i686 file /etc/rc.d/init.d/iscsid from install of iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-21.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-10.el6.i686 file /usr/share/man/man8/brcm_iscsiuio.8.gz from install of iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-21.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-10.el6.i686 file /usr/share/man/man8/iscsiadm.8.gz from install of iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-21.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-10.el6.i686 Error Summary ------------- So the question is... How do I upgrade my systems from 6.0 to 6.1 with these errors? The latest problem we are seeing with this is that its much harder to install all the 32 bit packages we need in an automated fashion in a kickstart. This is affecting applications such as cadence virtuoso here at NCSU. Here is what we used to do in 6.0:
if [ "`uname -i`" = "x86_64" ]; then
arch="x86_64"
else
arch="i686"
fi
if [ "$arch" = "x86_64" ]; then
rpm -qa | grep x86_64 | sed 's@x86_64@i686@' | xargs yum -y install
fi
now we have to do in 6.1:
if [ "`uname -i`" = "x86_64" ]; then
arch="x86_64"
else
arch="i686"
fi
if [ "$arch" = "x86_64" ]; then
rpm -qa --qf "%{name}.i686\n" | grep -v python | grep -v iscsi-initiator | grep -v kdeutils-libs | grep -v rhythmbox | xargs yum -y install
fi
removing python, python-libs, iscsi-initiator, kdeutils-libs, and rythmbox seems very hackish and broken to me. This bug should be fixed in 6.2.
Ok. I guess I should update this info... I guess this isn't so much a bug. Because you guys might need to remove some 32 bit packages for some reason. So I can understand that. The issue we are having is that we have to PXE boot into an old RHEL 6.0 boot.iso and then the automated system we use yum updates before we get control. Which is why I needed the hacks above. But when we update to a 6.2 boot.iso the problem would go away. So its not really Red Hat's fault. I hope this makes sense. Unfortunately, there is no good fix for the issue when installing from RHEL 6.0 aside from the steps described at https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-60896 or what was described in comment #3. Closing the bug. |
