We have observed the same behavior with RHEL 5.6 and RHEL 5.7 In order to automate secure deployment , we added "updates" directory to the DVD image with the following content: # ls -1 updates httpd-2.2.3-53.el5_7.1.i386.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.18-274.3.1.el5.i386.rpm kernel-PAE-2.6.18-274.3.1.el5.i686.rpm kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-274.3.1.el5.i686.rpm kernel-xen-2.6.18-274.3.1.el5.i686.rpm kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-274.3.1.el5.i686.rpm repodata then in kickstart file we added reference to this repository: repo --name=updates --baseurl=file:///mnt/source/updates the updates are being installed, but they disregard any dependencies in RPM, I checked SRMS: $ grep httpd mod_nss.spec Requires(pre): httpd $ grep httpd php53.spec Requires(pre): httpd but updated httpd is installed out of order, which brakes both php53 and mod_nss: # egrep "httpd|php53|mod_nss" /root/install.log Installing mod_nss-1.0.8-4.el5_6.1.i386 error: %post(mod_nss-1.0.8-4.el5_6.1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 Installing php53-5.3.3-1.el5_6.1.i386 Installing httpd-2.2.3-53.el5_7.1.i386 Interestingly enough, if kickstart uses external repository (http:// or ftp://) all is installed in the proper order.
