I'm new to CentOS. I was running Fedora core 3 before I installed CentOS 5.0. I'm looking at the files in CentOS /etc/yum.d and the same files in Fedora 3. I'm a little confused as I have never looked at yum before. I now have a full time connection so now I can use yum. I have been looking for supported rpms for XEmacs and Gnucash. What repos do I need to add to obtain these two

I'm wondering about yum update vs. yum upgrade. The man page says use upgrade (actually the obsoletes flag which is set in upgrade and not update) when doing something like a linux 8.0 to linux 9 upgrade. Something we can't do with CentOS, i.e. 3 to 4. So, is it better to use update or upgrade when going from 4.3 to 4.4? Doesn't RedHat call these "Quarterly Updates" and

On one notebook (so far), I have not picked up the new kernel: kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.i686.rpm I have gotten it on some notebooks. So far the only difference I can see between the systems that MIGHT matter is those that got the update were new installs and had not reached 3 installed kernels. The one that failed already had 3 kernels in /boot. But I seem to recall this was about how

I'm trying to update my CentOS 5.6 boxes to 5.7, and on every single one of them yum is failing with a segmentation fault: the error happens when yum is checking the 'base' repository.

Has anyone noticed the time change from Daylight to Standard Sunday? Is there a fix in the works? -- Bob Taylor <bob8221 at gmail.com>

Hello, I have run into problems in the past where a package has been added to our yum repository, and a (new) class has been pushed to install that package, but puppet fails because the yum db on the target machine is too stale, and thus isn''t aware of the existence of the new package. My question is this : what have other Puppet admins done in order to ensure that a target machine

CentOS 4.3 (SMP, x86_64, Athlon64 X2) with all pre-4.4 release updates applied. Since I ran into the Yum issue at the previous upgrade, I first did yum upgrade to get the list of packages (6 to install, 206 to update). I then did yum upgrade yum (which passed without issues) yum upgrade sqlite (which passed without isseus). Fairly certain that yum now works correctly, I wanted to just do

As I think I previously mentioned, there is an incompatibility with rails 1.2.1 and sqlite3 3.3.8. see: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2007/1/29/using-sqlite3-with-rails and: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2007/2/6/rails-1-2-2-sqlite3-gems- singular-resources Sqlite is now at 3.3.13. Because of this, if a developer is trying to create a patch for rspec_on_rails, he will have one of the

Hi, I am trying to install Gnumeric in CentOS 4 and I can't. It complains about quite a few dependencies failing. It suggested installing some postgresql librairies, openldap librairies... I did that, now I still get: dependencies failed: libmdb/libmdbsq/libsqlite/libxbase/libtds. Is there a yum repository that has them or a yum repository for gnumeric? I have tried Dag, he does not, he

Hey, I just updated from the edge and it looks like this _issue_ has resurfaced. Yesterday things were working (stories and specs). No code base changes, only rspec and rspec_on_rails After updating today I now need to set <config.txn...fixtures> to false in the spec_helper.rb to get the specs running, the stories are fine. Looks like the fixture loading is trying to start a txn. I

I have rpms for xemacs 21.5.27-8.fc8. I *think* they will work on Centos 5? If not I can get the sources. However, at this point, I have one of those dependency hell problem. I need, for now, libtinfo. Does anyone now what package it is in? Thanks, Bob -- Bob Taylor <bob8221 at gmail.com>

I'm having the same problem as Valent Turkovic.

Hi, # yum install php-pear <snip> No package php-pear available. Nothing to do This is on CentOS 5.8 (i386). The package is available for both archs on the two mirrors I checked. I also tried a # yum clean headers # yum clean metadata # yum clean dbcache to no avail. Am I missing something or is it the metadata?

Okay - so the sqlite bug reported a day or so ago on the list is real bug. I''m going to file something in the tracker for that... I also learned that before(:all)...after(:all) is not wrapped in a transaction, the way before(:each)...after(:each) is. Is there some reason behind this? Can you not wrap transactions inside transactions? Scott

I could use some assistance getting CPAN functional again. CPAN stopped working on Centos 4.2 x64, and I can no longer install modules. I did a install Bundle::CPAN and upgraded to 1.8.2, and perl was updated afterwards via yum update. The error seems related to GPG, does anyone know if 1.8.2 added new restrictions on signatures? $ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration

Hi everyone, Yum on one my CentOS systems has decided to stop functioning after an upgrade to CentOS 4.6. It's complaining about errors with Python-SQLite packages? Any ideas anyone?
