Hello everybody

I am relatively new to the forum and start my first steps with Centos 5.3
Have done my first yum update and it seems to complete well but after i notice kernel packages didnt update, so i have done that separately.

Now running yum update again and i get this error :

# yum update

What can be suggested ?

#yum remove httpd

#yum install httpd

Have seen this options but dont know how to use it
package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
package-cleanup --cleandupes

thanks

The first and easiest thing to try is "yum clean all && yum update".

I notice you are using the priorities plugin and have not set one for [extras]. It will default to 99 which may or may not be what you want.

I had the same issue. Obviously some bug in yum somewhere. Here is my workaround:

# yumdownloader file
# rpm -U file-4.17-15.el5_3.1.x86_64.rpm
# yum update

FWIW, I ran into the same thing this morning on my i386, and just ran:

# yum clean packages
# yum clean headers
# yum clean metadata
# yum clean dbcache

(And then)

# yum clean all

Then all went well.

(That's probably overkill, but that's just the way I am.)

Quote:

Won't hurt anything if you just like to type but as the argument "all" implies, "yum clean all" does all of the above. From the man page:



If you want overkill, just "yum clean all<CR><UP-Arrow><CR>".

Quote:

Point taken, Phil. I'll cast aside my paranoia in the future :0

I got the same error and reported on the CentOS bug tracker:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3613

Hi again

#yum clean all
# yum update

It just worked like a charm, first try.

Thanks

I can see this

Please tell me if are these packages important ?

You will have to decide that for yourself based on your needs and preferences, but based on your repo config, assuming no other repos are involved/enabled, and after a full update, here's how to see what you are not updating from each:


OR to get the global list of excluded updates:

Hi

Thanks you for all that command possibilities

but for example now i'am trying to install vlc package

# yum install vlc

Total size: 52 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y
Downloading Packages:


Package gsm-1.0.12-3.el5.kb.x86_64.rpm is not signed

or before was this one Package SDL_image-1.2.5-4.el5.kb.x86_64.rpm is not signed

I can see all packages at /var/cache/yum/kbs-CentOS-Testing/packages

but i think none of them is signed ? question is that secure to manually install ? or can i get signed ones from elsewhere ?

thanks

Not sure why Karanbir still seems to only have unsigned/testing packages, but gsm and vlc are available as signed packages from RPMforge.

http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS

Thanks to lead me to the right way

I see now i forget to disabled this

[kbs-CentOS-Testing]
name=CentOS.Karan.Org-EL$releasever - Testing
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://centos.karan.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-karan.org.txt
..........................
enabled=0
.........................
baseurl=http://centos.karan.org/el$releasever/extras/testing/$basearch/RPMS/

Now yum doesnt search those Testing packages and all of them exists on rpmforge

Thanks one more time

You may want to review
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities
and make sure you have priorities properly configured for all repos. It is possible to leave repos enabled but give them a lower priority (higher number) than the repo you want packages to come from.

You can also use a combination of exclude and includepkgs directives to yum. See "man yum.conf".

you don't need "yum clean all"

"yum clean metadata" is enough

i like to keep packages in cache, just in case...

A matter of opinion and sometime of fact. If you have corrupted packages you don't want to keep them. At least


No doubt "yum clean all" is occasionally overkill, but it is also the most robust approach.
