"yum update" failing to function properly

ALCON,

I attempted to update my CentOS 5.4 installation only to watch it trip all over itself, oy vey! Follows hereupon an exemplification of the reaction I received from CentOS 5.4 whence I attempted this process.

I did try to do a "yum clean all" and then repeat the process, but this had no overall effect whatsoever. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Stuart

Your conflicts are rpmforge conflicts.
You need to configure priorities as instructed in the wiki.
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos#head-70ff04f00f6b441f231663b09d7716f4f771a436

You can use : yum --disablerepo=rpmforge

Sir,

I took your advice, but clearly I must be missing something because it has not changed a thing. Please review my comments below, as I am sure there must be something more requisite for me to do to make this work.


Thanks,

Stuart

1) It seems like the attempted installation of "yum-priorities" was moot, since apparently (as far as I can see) like it was already there. Good, I thought, right?

[root@localhost ~]# yum install yum-priorities
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* addons: mirrors.gigenet.com
* base: mirror.fdcservers.net
* extras: yum.singlehop.com
* rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net
* updates: mirrors.easynews.com
rpmforge/primary | 3.4 MB 01:58

Setting up Install Process
Package yum-priorities-1.1.16-13.el5.centos.noarch already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
[root@localhost ~]#

2) Next I looked at the rpmforge.repo file to add the "priority=2" line, but apparently this made no difference as the same sorts of errors occurred as had happened yesterday.

[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# cat rpmforge.repo
# Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise 5 - dag
# URL: http://rpmforge.net/
[rpmforge]
name = Red Hat Enterprise $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag
#baseurl = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/$basearch/dag
mirrorlist = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge
#mirrorlist = file:///etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-rpmforge
enabled = 1
protect = 0
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag
gpgcheck = 1
priority = 2
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]#

Any further suggestions?


Thanks,

Stuart

Have you set priorities for all active repos? The default priority if not specified is 99 - the lowest. Please try
sed -n -e "/^\[/h; /priority *=/{ G; s/\n/ /; s/ity=/ity = /; p }" /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo | sort -k3n


Here's my example:
$ sed -n -e "/^\[/h; /priority *=/{ G; s/\n/ /; s/ity=/ity = /; p }" /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo | sort -k3n
priority = 1 [addons]
priority = 1 [adobe-linux-i386]
priority = 1 [base]
priority = 1 [centosplus]
priority = 1 [extras]
priority = 1 [fasttrack]
priority = 1 [livecd]
priority = 1 [local]
priority = 1 [updates]
#priority = 1 [centosplus]
priority = 10 [rpmforge]

Thanks!

Now it seems to be working quite well after making this amendment to the configuration!
