Hi all, i have a problem with centos's up2date tool. I have setup a central update server with yam (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/) under CentOS-4. When yam calls t up2date to download updates, up2date returns this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yam", line 1099, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/yam", line 983, in main

Which is better? Why? I know yum is the official update mechanism here and in Fedora Core, but that doesn't make yum better than up2date any more than Windows NT was better than OS/2. Let's try to keep the discussion objective:-) I'm asking, hoping for some insights into why RH might (apparently) be moving to yum in preference to up2date (yum is now used within Anaconda). Other

Hi, I have already installed 4.2 on my laptop, I only chose GNOME at install time. I now need to use up2date to install kde (I wish to install twinkle softphone). What is the correct way to do that. I did: up2date kde* up2date -u kde* up2date -i kde* It printed a listing of the packages but did not install them. Thanks, Jerry

Hi Folks, as recommended I have only updated up2date , up2date-gnome.# All other packages deselected. Run uptodate - okay. But now I have no channels in up2date - I can't update my system. If I try to start up2date I get this error message: Exception type exceptions.ValueError Exception Handler Information Traceback (most recent call last): File

Hi all, I want to use UP2DATE to alert me to updates that are available but still use yum to make the update. Up2date alerts me and i see what is available and then update with yum. Up2date icon still shows updates are available. How can I get up2date to know that the system has been updated? Thank you. -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value! Linux User #296285

I have found a few issues with puppet and the up2date provider (version 0.22.4) that I''d like to run by those who use up2date (to see if others are experiencing the same issues). 1. Puppet doesn''t seem to find the latest updates of packages that are already installed. In looking at "/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/up2date.rb", I found that

If so, how do you configure the up2date client that comes with CentOS to look at the local yum mirror? Conversely, how do you disable the CentOS Network Alert Notification Tool so that users won't see the "throbbing red circle" and be tempted to launch the up2date client? Thanks, Alfred

Greetings, centos. Looks like postinstall scriplet in CentOS4.4 distro requires /sbin/restorecon utility, which in turn resides in policycoreutils package. Meanwhile, up2date don't require policycoreutils. It seems to that there is an error in dependencies for up2date. -- Best regards, Alexey Loukianov mailto:aloukianov at lavtech.ru Software Development

CentOS3.9 Users: After applying all Updates to Upgrade from CentOS 3.8 CentOS 3.9 I find up2date no longer works "correctly" (or shall I say NOT as before)... Missing is the "sources" File!!! Is this how V 4.5.5-7 is supposed to be or is the "sources" File omission an "error"??? Lawrence Houston -- (centos at greenfield.dyndns.org)

Centos 4 i386 [root at fiftyeight ~]# up2date -u lynx There was a fatal error communicating with the server.

Got part 1 - xx of back up working, so figured it's a good time to look for stuff to jettison... casually of course. Like paperwork, documentation, ... it's low on the priority list with GB so cheap these days. Anyway, 42M in /var/spool/up2date. Headers and such. I use only yum after my first month or so of CentOS. Can I dump that and similar non- config stuff? Or does it have some

I have 2 new servers built from 4.3 isos. I want to update them but cannot do that because of update issues: Up2date fails because of a several dependency issues. yum update fails because of a problem with the au mirrors. yum can find the mirrors but not the headers. Cheers

What is the correct command using up2date and yum to install the kernel source package. Thanks, jerry

Hi, I got this in yum update process : /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.43939: line 12: restorecon: command not found error: %post(up2date-4.4.69-25.centos4.5.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 "restorecon" is from package "policycoreutils", this last one has never been installed on my system ... Any ideas ? -- Martin

Well I just tried up2date -u Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies... Downloading headers to solve dependencies... ####################################### Downloading headers to solve dependencies... There was a package dependency problem.

I don't understand it. It was working fine a month ago. Now it just does not work. Is any one having problems with Up2date? Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 50x more storage than other providers! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

The mirrors are missing the headers folders which prevents up2date from working. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore,

Hi all, I just wanted to ask if anybody did a # up2date --upgrade-to-release=4.1 on CentOS 3.5 box? I did it and I'm having a bit of problems. The box just dies... at intervals between half a day and a couple of days. Initially I considered it was a hw problem, so I had the tech support check it out, and they just switched the box with another, and put the harddisks back on the new box...

Is it possible to exclude one package from a repo whilst using the up2date icon please? If so, how do I do it?
