similar to: Using yum variable $releasever reports 1

I have performed the 5.1 update via the 5 repo on a couple of systems. I then went to switch these systems to my new local repo using ther $releasever variable. It still has the value of 5, not 5.1 Where is this set? Why was it not changed to 5.1? On the one clean install from the 5.1 isos, $releasever is at 5.1 I think.

After installing clean Centos 5.3 and updating with "yum update" yum starts to fail. I get the following error message YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file. Eg. 7 is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet/ removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: //var/cache/yum/base/mirrorlist.txt It looks like the $releasever variable has value 7. Why does

Hi, I have the x86_64 arch on my server so therfore i expect that yum updates only x86_64 packages. With the last *yum update* i?ve noticed a strange behaviour while retrieving the needed packeges. As you you see, yum wants install packages for different architectures: glibc x86_64 2.3.4-2.25 base 4.9 M glibc i686 2.3.4-2.25 base 5.1 M . .

I am getting this when trying to update a machine: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6 public key not available for rsync-2.6.4-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm This brings yum to a halt.

Hello, in my CentOS-Base.repo file there is a line baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch and yum update said 'nothing to do'. Then I change this line to baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/updates/i386 and yum updates firefox, squid, sos and so on. That happens on two of my computers, reproducible. Does yum sometimes forget it's release

Hi, is this the right behaviour of yum? yum.conf has: distroverpkg=redhat-release But yum obviously uses centos-release to find out the distro version. So is yum patched to do this? Thx Rainer

I have 2 servers: On both, I did yum update. One upgraded the kernel, the other didn't. Why? TIA, Dave Augustus

I have updated my instructions on how to roll your own CentOS-4 Live CD. I also made a script which does it all for you. I have also got instructions on how to turn the Live CD into a PXE bootable Live version.

I just upgraded one of my Tao boxes to Centos 3. The usual procedure is to do a yum update twice, and all is fine. This time, I had to rebuilddb before I could run the second yum update, and once I started this, yum fails. It says that $releasever is "1.0". Now I realize I could manually edit my yum.conf and make it go to 3, but this may not fix the problem down the road. Can

Hi, I'm trying to help a friend who is doing a thesis in a nurse college, to evaluate medical question forms. There are about 30 questions giving more than 110 parameters to describe each responding person's (gender, health etc.) and there are about 120 question forms to evaluate. I have basically 2 questions. 1. What to search for. 2. How to evaluate it statisticaly. As for No. 1. I have

Subject says it all. Running yum install kernel or yum install kernel-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.i686.rpm gives "nothing to do". Yum runs daily via cron.

Greetings All, How to does one go about reconfiguring centos's time zone configuration (to the eastern time zone (us)), via the command line? I have tested other GNU/Linux distribution's documentation, tools, files and relevant details with centos and have thus far been unable to find a compatible solution. My apologies if my question is very simple, I have done a fair amount of

Hi! I'm trying to upgrade my Redhat 3AS server, but I'm encountering problems. The first problem was, I didn't know what repository to use. I settled on http://mirror.centos.org/, but using it is strange, as not all mirror servers have all of the directories, and so sometimes links appear broken, but the problem goes away if I hit reload. A number of them have empty directories,

Hi, Asterisk database is made of <family><key> records such as: fam key1 val1 fam key2 val2 ... fam key100 val100 I'm looking for the smartest way to iterate among different keys associated to a given family. One way to do this is to parse "database show fam" response. Is there something smarter ? Something like ${DBKEYS(fam)} which would evaluate to "key1
