Topic: Updates

[Bill Talcott]

I too am running SME 5.0 with Update 3.  I downloaded the 21 files from ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/updates/5.0/Update4/RPMS/ and ran "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" just like the README said.  I got errors about failed dependencies similar to what Ille mentioned.  Other than the Blades for Updates 2 and 3, the only things I've installed are the User-Manager and Port Forwarding panels.



error: failed dependencies:
        php = 4.0.4pl1-9 is needed by php-manual-4.0.4pl1-9

I have the exact problem Bill listed.  Many of the rpms are listed as already installed, and the new PHP rpms don't get installed.  

If anyone gets around this before the blades server is available to all, please post.

Bill,

THis is the only error:

error: failed dependencies:
php = 4.0.4pl1-9 is needed by php-manual-4.0.4pl1-9

The rest are just informational. You've installed the php-manual RPM by hand at some point, and it conflicts with the new version of PHP. You'll have to remove it by hand:

rpm -e php-manual

I've put together an (untested, unsupported) contrib RPM of php-manual without that pesky dependency; it's in

ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/RichLafferty/RPMS/noarch/

Cheers,

Thanks for the info.  Your RPM seems to have fixed the problem.

Also, what is php-manual?  Is there anything common that will be affected if I remove it?

[Rich Lafferty]

php-manual is the manual for PHP. It's just the documentation; I'd recommend using the annotated manual at php.net instead, as the distributed documentation is occasionally incorrect, and the annotations by others often point that out.

If you need a local copy, though, use mine, as it documents the version of PHP distributed in the updates.

Cheers,

Hi

I am trying to update a 5.0 server from SP3 to SP4 manually and I get a error message very similar, this time its the e-smith-lib (from SP4) that needs the samba, and I dont dare removing the e-smith-lib, so what is you advice here?
(I dont recall having installed any other updates manunally)
Can I get the samba rpm from the ftp server (couldt find it in 5.0 update subdirs)
