with installed version 1.3.7 from rpmforge yum --allow-downgrade update rrdtool-1.2.30-1.el5.rf results in "no packages to update" yum --allow-downgrade install rrdtool-1.2.30-1.el5.rf says "already installed" So, how am I supposed to use --allow-downgrade then? I had to rpm -e --nodeps the newer packages to be able to install the older packages. Now I want to lock the

All of a sudden yum hangs on a Centos 4.5 (updated to the latest patch before 4.6) when I try to use it. "clean metadata" didn't help. The output of -d5 shows it gets to the point of "Reading Local RPMDB" and then sits there. The process doesn't die, but doesn't seem to do anything from that point on. strace shows this: futex(0xb76dcae8, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL I

I wanted to install the rpmforge-release package on a new install and get the following. Do others have the same problem? b51:~ rpm -ivvvvvvvh http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge- release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm Retrieving http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6- 1.el5.rf.i386.rpm D: ... as /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.qQEt9n D: failed to open

Almost each time I want to use rpmforge with yum I get a "Metadata file does not meet checksum" error. Yum usually has to try at least five mirrors before it succeeds, sometimes it doesn't find a mirror with a useable file. This is with CentOS 5. Is this a known issue with rpmforge lately?

Just noticed that my munin installation stopped showing any data after the last "big" update. I installed a lot of updates for CentoS, but there was also a munin update coming from rpmforge. However, in yum.log there is no munin listed. But I'm sure I updated munin to 1.2.5-2.el5.rf as well. Does yum log only the centos repo's? The problem seems to be with the creation of

Hello guys, I was told by the client to install Perl DBI version 1.52 on a el6 box, by default el6 branch comes with DBI version 1.6x, this version is AFAIK not the desired one. First I tried installing DBI 1.52 from some rpm package [1], which had some dependencies, Perl 5.8.8 and dbd.4.4.x, this last package was also present el6, so it made conflict and it was not possible to install DBI 1.52

I installed postgrey from rpmforge and wanted to use sysconfig to change options instead of overwriting the init file. However, I get a weird warning from postgrey. I'm not sure if this is a postgrey quirk or I use sysconfig the wrong way. /etc/sysconfig/postgrey: OPTIONS="--unix=/var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket --delay=660" /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgrey:

rpmforge has just released a new perl-DBD-mysql for el4 that has an obsoletes against perl-DBD-MySQL and the protectbase yum plugin doesn't grok obsoletes. the priorities plugin does. so if you are having issues with this, install the yum-plugin-priorities first, make sure that the CentOS-Base repo is priority 1 and the rpmforge repo is priority 2 or higher (99 is the default). also,

I did a "yum groupremove Java" and that failed "somehow". Yum listed all group members as "erased", but some rpm packages failed because of missing config files or so. As a result none of the 50 packages were removed from the rpm database, but all of their files seem to have been removed. How can I clean them out from the rpm db? Kai -- Kai Sch?tzl, Berlin,
