similar to: Is this message from YUM a bad thing?

Before I reported that YUM often crashed. I was given help here on this list which stopped YUM from freezing my computer. However, YUM is still not behaving. Recently, I went to install a program called transcode. Yum found 14 packages that needed to be installed. It installed one of them and then stopped. It gave me this error: /sbin/ldconfig: File

I am running a Xen installation on a Centos-4.4 based test box, my desktop unit, and I am having intermittent problems installing certain pieces of software. Some time back I posted to this list regarding my inability to install Adobe Acrobat on this unit and was advised to essentially repackage the software and try again. This is beyond my present means of knowledge or time to acquire same and

Can't remember if I posted this before... We're getting warnings from rkhunterWarning: Checking for prerequisites [ Warning ] All file hash checks will be skipped because: This system uses prelinking, but the hash function command does not look like SHA1 or MD5. Now, googling, I find people saying to rm /etc/prelink.cache, then run rkhunter --propupd. Works. And then,

Hi, I am using Debian GNU/Linux Lenny with kernel verison 2.6.26-2-amd64 (x86_64) and want to compile wine 1.1.38 form the source Tarball. After successful compilation and installation through "make install", I get the following error when trying to run wine (e.g. when trying to run winecfg or any other application). wine: failed to initialize: /usr/local/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so:

Can anybody explain to me what's going on here? This is a CentOS 4 i386 system.

I have a number of CentOS6 machines, and on one of them, the daily prelink cron job aborts. Any ideas what to look for? /etc/cron.daily/prelink: /etc/cron.daily/prelink: line 47: 9381 Aborted (core dumped) /usr/sbin/prelink -av $PRELINK_OPTS >> /var/log/prelink/prelink.log 2>&1 I'm unfamiliar with prelink, so I'm not sure what to look for in the logs.

Hey, Gang! To ensure that a file hasn't been corrupted or tampered with, you can use rpm to verify the package it came from. Well, I found this: rpm -Vv util-linux .... ........ /usr/bin/cal S.?..... /usr/bin/chfn ........ /usr/bin/chrt S.?..... /usr/bin/chsh .... Does anyone else get this? And what would be the proper course of action at this point? Thanks mucho. --

Hi list, I'm a bit worried here. On a server, Centos 4.3 fully-patched SELinux activated, Osiris (a decentralized scanner for files changes on distant servers) signaled me several changes on files who were not (at first sight) affected by a recent update (the list is below). Is there a logic explanation for those changes to happen ? The "rpm -Va" command does not output md5sum

in my prior message, that should be in rkhunter.conf On Wed, Aug 30, 2017 at 11:43 AM, Tony Schreiner <anthony.schreiner at bc.edu> wrote: > This has come up for me on the most recent upgrade, add the line > > HASH_CMD=sha1sum > > On Wed, Aug 30, 2017 at 11:15 AM, <m.roth at 5-cent.us> wrote: > >> Can't remember if I posted this before...

I'm trying to help someone with Dovecot, and it looks like this one is a few versions behind. They say that they're not sure if it was installed Via an RPM or a source tarball. Dovecot is use MySQL. This is a RHEL5 server. There are RPMs listed as installed (rpm -qa) but I don't know how I can tell what was used to install the currently used set up. (also asking on the Postifix list)

I just downloaded the latest version of wine from the site to install on my system. My system is an Athalon XP 2400+ running Fedora Core 3, fully updated. I downloaded the file wine-20050419-1fc3winehq.athlon.rpm and installed it, then installed winetools-2.1.1-jo.i386.rpm to go with it. I started winetools to do the configuration and completed each step of the base install one at a time until

What are the pros and cons of disabling prelinking in CentOS 4? From what I understand, prelinking is ment to be performance improvement (faster loading time for binaries). I can see some potential benefit on workstations where many different processes are started frequently. But how big is that benefit in real life? Would I slow down things noticably if there is no prelinking? Is

The above discussion of prelink gave me pause for thought... I have a "suite" of programs that I install in their own directory, along with their datafiles, under /opt. Would it be a good idea to add that directory to /etc/prelink.conf? What could go wrong? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

In short, the reason considering (and still only considering) turning it off is to make tripwire usable again (security vs. performance, I guess). Is it possible to completely turn it off system-wide? Any additional steps needed on the existing system (that already have half of the binaries prelinked)? What order of performance degradation to expect? If it is minor, nobody is going to cry
