[RESOLVED] not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.

Post by pbasehore » 2010/06/01 20:27:59

I've done some searching in the forums, but haven't found very much that's helpful. The closest thing I've found is here:
[url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=107063&topic_id=26209]https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=107063&topic_id=26209[/url]

Anyway, I get that error with the following packages when I do a yum update:
/usr/lib/libjspTru64Alpha.so
/usr/lib/libjspAixPpc.so

The problem is, I am not running 64-bit nor PowerPC--I have a plain, vanilla x86 install. Why is it trying to install packages made for different processors? Am I missing something here?

I can provide any other information you need. I am running version 5.5.

How about the full output of your yum command?

Unfortunately, I have already closed my ssh terminal (what I was thinking, I'll never know). Sorry about that. Unless there's a way to grab my ssh history, it will have to wait until I need another update.

Again, I apologize.

Reading [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=25128&forum=47]How to provide information about your system[/url] and providing the output from "./getinfo.sh package" would give us relevant information about your issue.

Here is my "getinfo.sh package" package information.

I have it stored on the server for one month.

Thanks!

You posted the script itself, not the output of the script. :-(

Sorry, I copied it from my console and apparently it didn't work right. This should look better.

You can't use both protectbase and priorities plugins.

You still have not shown us the problem.
( the complete output of the command showing the error )

OK, I'm assuming based on [url=http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/ProtectBase]this link[/url] that priorities would be best to keep in (I didn't know they were both installed, tbh). I'm assuming I just do a yum uninstall yum-protectbase?

Right, as I replied yesterday I closed my ssh terminal without thinking, so I lost my history. Unless there is a way to get my ssh terminal buffer back, I will have to wait until I need another update to give you an output. Sorry.

Since the command failed, you should be able to run it again to get a repeat of the errors.
