similar to: version pinning with yum

I did a little googling for this, but only found meaningless references, since pin has too, too common other meanings. Is there a way to pin a version of a particular package with yum/rpm? I have the rpms for the beta 2.0 version of OpenOffice installed, so I'm not interested in the updates for OpenOffice 1.1.2-24.6.0.EL4 which are now coming in. Is there a way to instruct yum to ignore this

Hello! My attempt to build openoffice.org-3 seems to be hanging. Pressing Ctrl-T produces: load: 0.11 cmd: tcsh 79759 [sleeping without queue] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 0k (tcsh is used by OOo's build-script). What is this "sleeping without queue" state, and why is process in it for so long? This is an 4-CPU amd64 system with 4Gb of RAM. Only 16% of the swap is currently in use and

When I query for installed package on the system, I get following result: # yum list installed openssl Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, tsflags, verify, versionlock Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Installed Packages openssl.x86_64 1.0.1e-16.el6_5.4 @updates/$releasever When I try to install already installed package (just playing with yum), I get following result: # yum install

I have some batch JOBs migrate from CEBTOS 5.3 to CENTOS 5.4 server. Those batch files start on "#!/bin/csh -v". Those batch files run good under CENTOS 5.3. on CENTOS 5.4 batch jobs still run good but end of batch priocess it will show "history". Does anyone know why? Thanks. ___________________________________________________ ??????? ? ????????????????

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

Hi there -- I need to reconfigure yum on one of our centos 5.3 systems in order for the automatic updates to work. Currently the error messages that I am getting are shown below: $ sudo yum check-update Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, priorities, protectbase, tsflags, versionlock Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.rit.edu *

Just upgraded to 5.4 yesterday morning. (Kudos to those who did that!) That's probably irrelevant to this problem: "yum install mplayer" fails. Here's what happens: ================================================== # yum install mplayer Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, filter-data, kernel-module, keys, kmod, list- : data, merge-conf, security, upgrade-helper,

hi all, i'm trying to understand an issue i'm having with a yum repo (it's a mirror of the c74 repo). there's an rpm in the repo (ibutils-libs in this case); but the client using this repo says it cannot find this rpm (i did yum info ibutils-libs --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c74 to exclude all other repos). other rpms are ok to use, so nothing structural going wrong (i think)

Everyone, I am at a loss on this problem would appreciate some guidance as to where to start to fix it. I noticed that my home gateway server was not being updated with the new kernel and other software, and when I ran yum it aborted with the following notices. I tried a yum clean all, but this did not fix the problem. I thought the problem may be related to one of the repos, but I have other

Hello! I was trying to build OpenOffice using all of my 4 CPUs. To be able to do other work on the machine comfortably, I ran the build under nice, and assigned real-time priority to the two Xorg processes. The build started at about 23:10 last night, and hung at 23:46. The procstat output for the make's process group is: PID PPID PGID SID TSID THR LOGIN WCHAN EMUL

We have several "csh" batch scripts using "#!/bin/csh -v". It work fine, before Centos 5.5. After cenos 5.5, it will NOT execute and only list history. Anyone know why? Thanks.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 List, I have a rather unique question, that perhaps can be answered easily here.I did search google and only came up with one app that does this exact thing; however, it's an expensive tool. Thusly, not my cup of tea. I have need to convert approximately 100 documents in Openoffice's native format to Microsoft Word's native format.

Hi All, I have finally switched to using hiera (worthy goal!) and I am looking for a flexible way to manage the ''exclude'' line in /etc/yum.conf. I want to be able to specify from different classes RPMs to be excluded in /etc/yum.conf, then build the exclude line from all those classes that set an exclude. In my hiera hierarchy, I use %{calling_module}, but I actually modify

I'm trying to learn about the tcltk package and its uses. Floundering around a bit ... Have discovered Peter Dalgaard's articles in R-News, which should help. Also James Wettenhall's suite of examples look like they might be enlightening, even though the indications are that they are Windoze oriented. Be that as it were, I decided to fool around a bit with Tcl/Tk *outside* of R to

Dear Experts, After one of updates that was released some time ago (a Month ago or maybe even earlier) I have noticed the following. On the machines with default runlevel 5 (sorry about old terminology, the new one is still confusing for me ;-) GUI/X11 login (display manager) lists only users whose default shell is bash. Or, at least users whose default shell is tcsh are not listed at all, and if

Hi, I noticed two things when running jexec. I run FreeBSD 9.2-RC1 from binaries and jails 9.2-RC1 too. I log as root on the host (I havn't any other user). # 1. $HOME For a jail named "blog" with a "blog" user, which $HOME is at /home/blog, if I do: jexec -U blog blog tcsh My id is correct, but $HOME is still root. # 2.
