CentOS - Jan 2005 - caching-nameserver network install failure

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Due to the removal of caching-nameserver-7.3-3_EL3.noarch.rpm from the
3.4 i386, network installs (using boot.iso from within the os tree) will
fail if the caching-nameserver package is included at package selection
time.

If you wish to use network installs and want to install
caching-nameserver, first perform a network install excluding the
caching-nameserver.  Then install caching name server via with yum.

yum install caching-nameserver

bugzilla can be used to track this issue if you so desire.

The correct version of the caching-nameserver (7.3) has been added back
to the 3.4 i386 tree for users attempting to perform Network installs.
Please verify that your selected mirror has the following file available
before performing a network install:
mirrorurl_and_path/centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/caching-nameserver-7.3-3_EL3.noarch.rpm

Users upgrading via yum will not get the new version of the
caching-nameserver. They will continue to see the older version of
caching-nameserver.

This was intended to imply via a yum command.

| No ... if it is in centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ they are getting

this is such a mess....but for everyone who may have this question.
caching-nameserver-7.2 and caching-name-server-7.3 both exist in the
centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS (new installs and network installs will
get 7.3 due to the package list).  System doing upgrades will only see
7.2 because 7.2 is the only package populated in
centos/3.4/os/i386/headers/ .

| yum.conf has an entry like this:
|
| [base]
| name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
| baseurl=mirror.../centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
|
| SO ... any RPM in centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ is going to also be in
| package resolution...since 7.3 is in centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ and
| since 7.2 is in updates, 7.3 will be installed.
|

See about regarding the location of both packages.  Also yum only uses
the headers it finds (as a result of using yum-arch).  It doesn't NOT
examine the actual files in the directory.
