Topic: Troubles With Yum Update To 7.2

[Arnie]

I'm trying to update my 7.1.3 server to 7.2 via Yum, but I keep getting dependancy errors. Yum says I need php-common = 5.1.6-3.el4s1.5 but can't find it. If I --enablerepo=centosplus, it can find php-common, but it also tries to update the kernel, perl, httpd, mod_perl, mod_ssl, mysql, mysql-server, mysql-libs and a bunch of other perl and php modules.

Should I have to enable the centosplus repo to update to 7.2?  Is it O.K. to update these other packages from the centosplus repo?

One server upgraded but I'm getting a:-
"Downloading Packages:
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 217521f6
Public key for perl-Net-IPv4Addr-0.10-2.el4.noarch.rpm is not installed"

Can I specify a preferred site?

I'm getting these dependancy errors:

Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-libs = 6.8.2-1.EL.13.25 is needed by package xorg-x11
Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-libs = 6.8.2-1.EL.13.25 is needed by package xorg-x11-xfs

I don't normally have any problems with the yum updates.

Update: I reset my yum repositories, and it worked. I needed to add back in dungog and a few others, but otherwise it was fine. I think the problem was the Centos repos being disabled ('CentOS - os' and 'CentOS - updates' - I've no idea why).

Looking at other topics, it seems that the yum repos were probably not correctly updated in a previous set of patches. I've certainly never disabled the centos repositories myself, but disabled they were.

Simply works. Did had an issue with yum referring to CentOS within $basearch. The documentation told me to:

- yum clean metadata
- yum clean all
- yum update

Works like a charm. Many thanks to the devs for their work and this update!

I've tried doing a "yum clean all", but I'm still getting the dependancy errors.

When I run "yum update", it seems to exclude the base and updates repos, even though I have them enabled.

I've done an "rpm -q -whatrequires" and it points to e-smith-imp, e-smith-horde and imp needing the deps, so it's not a contrib problem.

I've checked the server-manager to make sure the right repos are enabled. I've even done an expand-template on /etc/yum.conf, but base and updates are still being excluded. If anyone has any ideas, I'd would be most greatful.

==============================================
O.K. After a bit of poking around, It turns out that somehow PHP version 5 has been installed on my server. After removing it, the update was successful.

Sorry for wasting everyone time.

[fetjesus]

I might have that problem too, hmm totaly newbie though, how do I remove php5? sorry for noob question... only familiar with apt...

[Arnie]

First of all, do an "rpm -aq | grep php". This will list all of the packages that comprise PHP.

Then for each package do a "rpm --nodeps -e <package name>" but don't remove any of the perl packages (eg perl-*).

After that, "yum update" and voila!

After

- yum clean metadata
- yum clean all
- yum update

I´ve got the following screens:

Thank you for your help - this works perfectly.

You have a non-existent repository called smeaddons enabled. Read the FAQ - there's instructions there on setting all repository specifications back to default values.
