similar to: YUM and installing older versions of software.

A short while ago I reported a network interruption while performing a YUM update on a server. A check of the logs as recommended by a list member indicated that the update process had succeeded. However, I am now encountering the following problem on that same server and my nastily suspicious mind is trying to tell me that the previous event and this situation are somehow related. >

A short time ago a message on this list referred to an OSS project called ledgersmb. I am having a deal of difficulty getting this installed and as the web page at www.ledgersmb.org yields a "page not found" error and the ledger-smb-users mailing list seems very lightly used I wonder if someone here could help me out? I have ploughed through all of the perl dependencies for ledgersmb

I visited http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities which tells me to install the package yum-priorities available from extras. I try this and it fails. # yum install yum-priorities Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca * base: mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca * extras: mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca * updates:

I have a remote CentOS-5.3 installation that shares traffic with another enterprise. I want to record and measure the actual network traffic that comes into and goes out of that host's net i/f on a monthly basis for billing verification purposes. Does CentOS have a software package to accomplish this? I have run across references to a package called vnstat as a possible answer to my

I am experiencing a problem with yum on one of my CentOS-5.5 systems. Specifically, on Friday past (July 16), I ran yum update as root. Yum displayed all of the outdated packages and asked if I wanted to proceed. An answered yes. This first package downloaded was nss. At this point yum simply stopped processing or responding. A ctrl-c at the yum session terminal window did not interrupt the

I am trying to install Ruby-1.8.7p302 on a CentOS-5.5 server in preparation for a Rails-3 application deployment. I have downloaded the source from Rubyforge.org, unpacked it, and ran ./config and make. Everything built without error. I then ran checkinstall to create an rpm package. That too completed without error. However, when I try to install the resulting package using: yum localinstall

I am trying to get the x86_64 isos of CentOS-5.2. I wish to use bittorrent. The last time that I did this I required the bittorent package from Dag's repository. I have configured /etc/yum.repos.d/DagWieers.repo thus: [dag] name=Dag Wieers RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux #Also see URL http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/

You have a conflicting package installed from repository @atrpms. You need to remove that package and/or disable that repository to get past the dependency issue. 'Skip broken' is not going to handle this situation nor will any other set of yum options.

Note: As a digest subscriber the favour of a direct reply is requested in addition to the list. I had a network connection interrupted while running yum update on a remote server. The last line displayed showed 189/3?? updated. Subsequently I reconnected and now yum reports that there is nothing to do: Setting up Upgrade Process Setting up repositories update 100%

I am running xen (2.6.16-xen3_86.1_rhel4.1) on top of a stock CentOS-4.4 installation. I have not added any additional virtual machines however. When trying to install (as root) acrobat reader 7 for Linux from the adobe rpm (AdobeReader_enu.i386 7.0.8-1) I get the following errors: error: %pre(AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: install: %pre scriptlet

Hi, Looking at some udp stuff on snv_57, and I noticed that mib:::udpInDatagrams no longer exists, has this been superceded by mib:::udpHCInDatagrams? From my understanding they represent the same counter, but I''m asking in case this is a bug. I noticed that there is still a reference to udpInDatagrams in the DTrace testsuite. - Fintan

I have set up a local filesystem repo thus: # cat /etc/yum.repos.d/LocalFiles.repo # LocalFiles.repo # # This repo is used with rpms contained in a local filesystem repo # created with createrepo. You can use this repo and yum to install # items directly off the local disk. # # To use this repo with the other repos: # yum --enablerepo=localfiles yum --nogpgcheck <yum command> # # or to

Firstly, let me thank all of the individuals who assisted me in various matters regarding find, tar and ssh last week. Your contributions were truly invaluable and I learned a great deal thereby. The reason for that brief flurry of activity was an administrative and technical move to store-to-disc from store-to-tape for our server backups. We presently use a mix of store to disc on
