Good afternoon folks. Earlier today, I started upgrading a few of our servers to 5.4 based on input from the list. So far, all has gone well. I have about 6 servers (not very many, but still) that need to be upgraded. Instead of taking precious bits from the mirrors for each upgrade, I was curious if I could rsync the 5.4 directory from a local mirror, and configure yum to use that repo, if it would upgrade without issues? Would I need anything other than the 5.4 folders to do the upgrade? -jonathan

Would excluding everything up to the 5.4 folder be enough? Do I need 5.3, 5.2 etc to upgrade? On a side not, is there anything like apt-cacher for yum? -jonathan
Do you mean upgrade the CentOS from the ISO?

Hello, I thought I'd wait a little while before upgrading to 5.4, but am running into the following errors: -> Finished Dependency Resolution lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 from base has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: device-mapper >= 1.02.32-1 is needed by package lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 (base) mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-54.i386 from base has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: device-mapper-multipath >= 0.4.7-9 is needed by package mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-54.i386 (base) lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 from base has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: device-mapper-event is needed by package lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 (base) Error: Missing Dependency: device-mapper-multipath >= 0.4.7-9 is needed by package mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-54.i386 (base) Error: Missing Dependency: device-mapper-event is needed by package lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 (base) Error: Missing Dependency: device-mapper >= 1.02.32-1 is needed by package lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 (base) It would appear that these packages do exist, although earlier versions: # rpm -q device-mapper device-mapper-1.02.13-1.el5 Any thoughts would be appreaicated.
