similar to: yum $releasever thinks it's 1 instead of 3 - Nevermind

I just upgraded one of my Tao boxes to Centos 3. The usual procedure is to do a yum update twice, and all is fine. This time, I had to rebuilddb before I could run the second yum update, and once I started this, yum fails. It says that $releasever is "1.0". Now I realize I could manually edit my yum.conf and make it go to 3, but this may not fix the problem down the road. Can

Hi, I have an old server that originally was a RedHat 8 server. Then I upgraded to RedHat 9, then Tao Linux 1 and last to CentOS 3 when tao was discontinued. Yes I know that this was probably not the smartest thing in the world but now this is the case and I don't want to reinstall it. Now the question. In yum.conf I have distroverpkg=redhat-release and cat /etc/redhat-release gives: CentOS

Hi, After a successful upgrade CentOS 3.8 i386 to CentOS 4.4 x86_64 and, after cleaning old 3.8 packages, yum does not update the x86_64 packages but just the i386's. The rhn-applet see the x86_64 updates but neither yum nor up2date see them. When I run: # yum -d 3 check-update Yum Version: 2.4.3 COMMAND: yum -d 3 Installroot: / Setting up repositories Baseurl(s) for repo:

After installing clean Centos 5.3 and updating with "yum update" yum starts to fail. I get the following error message YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file. Eg. 7 is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet/ removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: //var/cache/yum/base/mirrorlist.txt It looks like the $releasever variable has value 7. Why does

I should change this to OT, as it's not really CentOS related. I had a post on the list last week asking how the rpmforge rpm was to be implemented in yum. Craig White was kind enough to list how his yum.conf is appended, I assume after he installed the rpm. Unfortunately, mine is not appended with these lines. I am running CentOS 3. I will add these lines manually, and probably remove

Currently the default yum configuration references mirror.centos.org. When yum looks up the IP address it finds several but it will only try one and fail if that server is down or does not have the headers for whatever reason. If yum were to reference a mirrorlist it would skip servers that fail and keep trying them all until it finds one that works or exhausts all the mirrors. Centos would

I installed CentOS 3.4 from a CD image I'd burned a while ago, and then attempted to update with yum to 3.7. All the packages installed OK, but at the very end of final cleanup I got an error message from db4 saying to "RUN RECOVERY". I did "rpm --rebuilddb" which may have been the wrong thing -- it issued an error about "pages missing". I then ran it again,

Has anyone else seen this? I recently got the announcement about the xorg 1.5 update being available, so I ran yum update to get it. To my surprise, I found that yum did not see it at all. With some help from Karanbir (thanks again), we decided there might be something wrong with my repo path, so I checked it against the older one I had from 5.0 (which I saved, for some reason) and found that

Mr. Parsley, the main man at the Tao Linux group, has announced that he will no longer be able to do his thing for Tao Linux. Just recently, I had decided to investigate CentOS 4 before his announcement, and liked a lot of what I saw. Due to the Tao announcement, I have decided that CentOS will "have" to be the OS for my company in the future. Hence, my new membership to this list.

Has anyone seen this before?

I tested moving a box from Tao 1.0 to CentOS 3.7. All went well, as far as I can tell, with the OS upgrades, but I needed to rpm -ivh --force the desktop-* stuff. This was a minor thing to fix for no real purpose other than to just be doing it. I still get, though, the Tao screens when the graphic login screen appears. I have changed the Application->Settings->Login Screen->

I have performed the 5.1 update via the 5 repo on a couple of systems. I then went to switch these systems to my new local repo using ther $releasever variable. It still has the value of 5, not 5.1 Where is this set? Why was it not changed to 5.1? On the one clean install from the 5.1 isos, $releasever is at 5.1 I think.

I get this when i try to yum update: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum Trying other mirror.

Subject says it all. Running yum install kernel or yum install kernel-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.i686.rpm gives "nothing to do". Yum runs daily via cron.

Hey, So, I'm having a minor issue. Today, I configured one of our CentOS systems to use our local mirror (mirror.clarkson.edu) for its repositories. After doing this, I ran a yum update and received the following warning in the output along with the updates available: Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have: Current : Thu May 7 14:41:57 2009 Downloaded:

Helo, I'm trying to update a centos server with a kernel form the centos.plus repro because it contain Firewire/IEEE1394 support. But when y do a : # yum update The kernel from the base is more recent thant the centos plus repro I have tried with the http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities plug-in and it didn't take the right kernel :

Have been running 5.4 x86_64 for a couple of months now. Every once in a while, I would get a notice that updates were available. It appears that about 3 weeks ago, yum stopped notifying me of updates. Over that time, I've manually done a 'yum update' from a command line, with an output that there are no updates. I know this cannot be true, because I watch the 'centOS-announce

Hello, I added rpmforge yum repo to my yum config and then the box couldn't connect to fetch updates. I added enabled=0 to rpmforge.repo as well as add-ons, contrib, and centosplus, but i'm still getting mirror errors. I believe i've got some file corruption somewhere, but i don't see where. I can't even fetch packages in updates now, keep getting connection refused

Hi, I have the x86_64 arch on my server so therfore i expect that yum updates only x86_64 packages. With the last *yum update* i?ve noticed a strange behaviour while retrieving the needed packeges. As you you see, yum wants install packages for different architectures: glibc x86_64 2.3.4-2.25 base 4.9 M glibc i686 2.3.4-2.25 base 5.1 M . .
