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

Hi All; Is there a corrupt iputils rpm located on one or more of the CentOS update file servers?

Hi Everyone, I have a CentOS 7 box that's refusing a rpm update. I suspect it has something to do with SCL enabled. The 'yum update' output is shown below. I need to force this package to install. I don't give a damn about the log files. I need that server patched since it is forward facing. Taking the server offline is not an option. How do I force the package installation?

I'm running CentOS on a virtual guest provided by a provider. Have you tried a 'yum clean all' ? That usually resolves this sort of issue for me. mhr

I have a couple of in use C7 boxes that were built with ntsysv and chkconfig for some old packages that needed to start using init.d. (The person setting these up didn't know about systemd creating service files for older packages, so we're stuck with these as-is.

Unlink files, symlinks, FIFOs, devices etc. (except directories) before writing them when extracting CPIOs. This stops weird behaviour like: 1) writing through symlinks created in earlier CPIOs. eg foo->bar in the first CPIO. Having foo as a non-link in a subsequent CPIO, results in bar being written and foo remaining as a symlink. 2) if the first version of file foo is larger

Hi, Updating selinux-policy-targeted to 3.7.19-260 fails. The archive seems corrupt. Got another copy from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/ which also fails: # rpm -Fv selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-260.el6.noarch.rpm Preparing packages for installation... selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-260.el6 warning: /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/customizable_types saved as

I downloaded the .rpm file from Google and am trying to install Picasa for Linux on CentOS 5. I get the below error. Is this because I'm using SELinux or because of something else? I found a small Picasa folder in /opt (24 items, 143.7 KB) but it seems to end there. Picasa is one of the programs my wife uses on Windows. TIA!

The following patch unlinks (deletes) files, symlinks, FIFOs, devices etc before writing them when extracting CPIOs. It doesn't delete directories. This stops weird behaviour like: 1) writing through symlinks created in earlier CPIOs. eg foo->bar in the first CPIO. Having foo as a non link in a subsequent CPIO, results in bar being written and foo remaining as a symlink. 2)

Hello, There seems to be problem in the cpio unpack in the kernel in initramfs. I have an empty "/sys" directory in my cpio archive, but it never shows up in my extracted initramfs. I've confirmed that extracting the archive again with cpio results in a correct tree, but it doesn't appear on boot when extracted by the kernel. Any ideas? I poked a bit, but I haven't
