Topic: Updating not working? (Resolved)

[imcintyre]

I have SME Server 7.0 that I upgraded to 7.1. In the SME Server Panel, under software installer. There are a number of upgrades listed. All are blue in color. I try to install them, all kinds of good things seem to be happening and finally I am asked to reconfigure, the system reboots  and then..... The same upgrades are still listed as available. For some reason the upgrades are not installed or not detected as being installed. I have "installed" them 3 times without success.

I would appreciate any help or insight that can be given.

Thx

[imcintyre]

But while I'm waiting.....

Does anybody have this problem?

Ok. I have reported to Bug Tracker

[Normando]

Please, try this command:

Code: [Select]

yum clean all

and when finish:

Code: [Select]

yum update

Confirm you have selected these repositories:
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Which_repositories_should_be_enabled

I not upgrade properly, please post the errors.

[imcintyre]

I ran both your commands and there were no errors reported and no commands required afterward.

Is there anything else I should look at

Thx in advance for your help.

From the command line.

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories setprop updates Exclude kernel,kernel-smp,mkinitrd,mdadm,initscripts

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories setprop base Exclude kernel,kernel-smp,mkinitrd,mdadm,initscripts

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories setprop centosplus Exclude kernel,kernel-smp,mkinitrd,mdadm,initscripts,perl*,httpd,mod_ssl

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/yum.conf

Code: [Select]

yum clean all

Code: [Select]

yum update \
--disablerepo=* \
--enablerepo=base \
--enablerepo=updates \
--enablerepo=smeos \
--enablerepo=smeupdates \
--enablerepo=smeaddons
If it still fails look in /etc/e-smith/db and clean out the yum directories (except the repositories one although you could if you don't have any custom repositories).

Code: [Select]

rm /home/e-smith/db/yum_available
rm /home/e-smith/db/yum_installed
rm /home/e-smith/db/yum_updates
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

William:

Is this all one command/one line of code?

yum update \
--disablerepo=* \
--enablerepo=base \
--enablerepo=updates \
--enablerepo=smeos \
--enablerepo=smeupdates \
--enablerepo=smeaddons

Thx in advance

As always please report bugs and potential bugs in the bug tracker -  Dont forget to search the bug tracker as your problem may exist. Thanks!

Byte:

If "file bug" comment is directed at me, see Bug 2610. I wasn't sure if it was a bug or I was just a screw up so I filed here first.

Electroman:

Not sure if this is a question or an answer. Assuming it is a question, should you be updating from the "testing" repository?
