I forgot to enter the up2date version kenyatta~$ up2date --nox --version Red Hat Update Agent v3.0.7 Those space calculations are from rpm, so reassigning to rpm. Yup. glibc-common has lots and lots of hardlinks, like 120 Mb worth. rpm does not attempt space caclulations taking into account that members of a hardlink set don't take up additional space. Easiest fix is to upgrade glibc-common (and whatever other packages are needed) from the CLI using -Uvh, adding --ignoresize. A real fix is gonna take longer, basically because of the length of time needed to get an rpm release deployed. Deferred until then |
Description of problem: I am unable to install glibc-common and some other package updates using up2date. For example, when I enter "up2date -i" I get a list of packages available for my machine. I select: glibc glibc-common glibc-devel from the list. After the Progress Dialog "Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies", I get a "WARNING!" box that says: Test install failed because of package conflicts: Installing package glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.6 needs 3MB on the /usr/lib filesystem I've gotten similiar messages for at least one other package that I tried to update using up2date. I know that I have plenty of space: kenyatta~$ df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 758968 360848 359564 51% / /dev/sda2 101107 48987 46899 52% /boot /dev/sda5 1035660 182804 800248 19% /home none 63264 0 63264 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdc5 521748 16536 478708 4% /tmp /dev/sdc3 1556716 402104 1091316 27% /usr /dev/sdb3 1011960 312936 647616 33% /usr/src /dev/sdc6 1252080 1013364 174056 86% /usr/lib /dev/sdb6 1244048 887224 292568 76% /usr/share /dev/sdc2 2056080 1533060 439484 78% /var kenyatta~$ uname -a Linux kenyatta.rileynet 2.4.20-18.8 #1 Thu May 29 07:50:46 EDT 2003 i586 i586 i386 GNU/Linux Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
