Re: RH22000 - RH Linux 7 - Professional Server (English) RH22000 I had a large hard disk and tried to install on it as much as I could. First I installed the first 4 CDs. Then CDR0005-1,2 (Linux App. Lib. Workstation Ed. CDs). Then CDR0006-1,2, CDR0007-1: a number of packages failed to install because of dependency problem. Finally I proceeded to install the Errata CD. Following is a screen trace after I inserted the Errata CD and typed: /mnt/cdr[root@localhost cdrom]# /mnt/cdrom/upgrade-system error: failed dependencies: /usr/bin/python is needed by up2date-2.0.5-3 [root@localhost cdrom]# which python /usr/bin/python [root@localhost cdrom]# set | grep PATH PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/ sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/X1 1R6/bin:/root/bin I downloaded from www.redhat.com the latest Errata packages up2date-2.0.6-1.i386.rpm and up2date-gnome-2.0.6-1.i386.rpm but I got basically the same error messages. I clearly had python in the path but up2date always complained python was not found!!! I contacted RedHat support team for help for several days but the problem was not resolved. At last, I crashed my system and reinstalled as follows: - installed CDs #1, #2 only - then downloaded up2date*.rpm and installed using rpm -ivh successfully - then downloaded glibc*.rpm and installed using rpm -Uvh successfully. I think libraries in CDR0005,6,7 may have been inconsistent with libraries in the first two CDS (CD1 and CD2). They may have caused the python dependency problem that I experienced. Can you please duplicate the problem and fix it? Thank you very much. Hoc Ngo hoc_ngo@yahoo.com
I'm not sure we can duplicate this problem. We have tried and failed. It is possible that your RPM database became corrupted. Is the problem resolved for you at this point?
closed due to lack of additional reporter feedback and an inability to duplicate.
