Topic: Yum update to 7.2 fails

[sgwestrip]

When doing a yum update to 7.2 it always fails trying to find fontconfig-2.2.3-7.centos4.i386.rpm on any of the mirrors. I have checked and double-checked that I have the correct repositries enabled.

Any advice as to what could be the problem?

Thanks,
Steve

Which repositories do you have enabled? Is this a fresh install of 7.1 or an upgrade from earlier versions of SME. The policiy about the enabled repositories has changed since then and CentOS repositories should be enabled as well now. Have a look at this FAQ entry.

[sgwestrip]

I had enabled the repostitories as per the FAQ so I do not think that is the problem.

Thanks,

Please report ALL problems to the Bug Tracker

[root@kiwi ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires fontconfig
urw-fonts-2.2-6.1
[root@kiwi ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires urw-fonts
ghostscript-7.07-33
[root@kiwi ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires ghostscript
ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13
hylafax-4.3.4-1rhel4

This is related to a contrib, it's not a problem with the base
if problems persist open a bug on smeserver-hylafax

[sgwestrip]

I am sorry to disagree, but on my installation fontconfigs does not have any dependencies.

[root@document ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires fontconfig
no package requires fontconfig

This output from yum would suggest that fontconfig is in the base:

Don't report problems here - Please report bugs and potential bugs in the bug tracker. Thanks.

And please tell us your server history when reporting.

Have you tried to clean all the cached data of yum and issued the update command again?

Code: [Select]

yum clean all

[bpivk]

The links aren't valid. Here you go ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/sunsite/distributions/smeserver/releases/obsolete/7.1/smeos/i386/CentOS/RPMS/fontconfig-2.2.3-7.centos4.i386.rpm

Note that i haven't tested this rpm on SME7.2 so i don't know what it'll do.

[cactus]

Have you filled in a Bug Report over @ http://bugs.contribs.org/ ? Please don't wait to be told this way you help us to help you/others - Thanks!

Shouldn't that read http://bugs.contribs.org now?

Your yum urls are messed up. Looks like there stuck in SME 7.0 mode.

Did you create a bug report?

Don't report problems here - Please report bugs and potential bugs in the bug tracker.

Why not at least let people talk about it and swap notes, so they can log a proper bug.

If we can't swap information about our experiences here, then where can we do that? Sifting through a bug tracker is not exactly fun or useful.

Nobody is stopping you, however nothing gets fixed in the next version(or the documentation) by gossip in the forums.

Why not at least let people talk about it and swap notes, so they can log a proper bug.

But why duplicate the work ?

Back to the topic, please still open a bug report and when you do please show the out put of cat /etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors*

Thanks.

Your yum urls are messed up. Looks like there stuck in SME 7.0 mode.

Perhaps OP is still in 7.0 mode, but this is never stated.

@sgwestrip: What is your current version of SME Server?

I seem to remember that when having SME Server 7.0 some additional steps where needed to first upgrade smeserver-support and yum related packages first.
