Topic: Errors after update

[AlexG]

Hi Forum

I am back from holiday and found an error on my server: I tried to install the following updates over server-manager, software-nstaller:

Nov 25 19:38:56 Updated: perl-IO-Compress-Base.noarch 2.008-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:38:56 Updated: perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib.i386 2.008-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:38:57 Updated: perl-IO-Compress-Zlib.noarch 2.008-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:38:58 Updated: perl-Mail-DKIM.noarch 0.29-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:39:00 Updated: perl-DBI.i386 1.601-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:39:01 Updated: perl-Quota.i386 1.6.0-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:39:01 Updated: perl-Compress-Zlib.noarch 2.008-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:39:01 Updated: perl-HTML-Tabulate.noarch 0.26-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:39:01 Updated: perl-IO-Zlib.noarch 1.08-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:39:02 Updated: perl-Text-Iconv.i386 1.7-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:39:02 Updated: perl-CGI-Persistent.noarch 1.00-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:39:02 Updated: perl-Crypt-Cracklib.i386 1.1-1.el4.rf
Nov 25 19:39:02 Updated: perl-I18N-AcceptLanguage.noarch 1.04-1.el4.rf

Some errors occurred and stopped the downloading. Now, when I click on software-installer the right side is white - nothing appears. The same is, when I click on the 'view log Files'. The other topics from the server-manager seem to work.

What do you recommend to get it working again?

Can someone varify that "yum update perl*" is the command that fixes the issue?
The bug report 3581 is a little unclear as to what the fix actually is.

Just "yum update" should be all that's required. If not, please open a new bug report.

Ok, thank you Charlie!
