Topic: Best way to get correct RPM version?

[jahlewis]

I've got affa running on a spare PC making backups of my primary 7.3 gateway server.  At one point in time, I must have run a yum update with base and updates enabled.  As a result, affa is now reporting some RPM versions are out of sync.

Both now have the correct repositories enabled (smeaddons, smecontribs, smeos, smeupdates)

For example:

• Primary server: kernel-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL
• Affa server: kernel-2.6.9-67.0.1.EL

What is the best way to "force" the correct version from the standard sme yum repositories?  rpm -e the wrong version, then yum install?

*
* The following packages are installed on both,
* the source 192.168.100.1 and on this backup host,
* but the version does not match:
*
perl-Class-ParamParser-1.0401-2.el4.sme
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.0-2.el4.centos
perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.07-1.el4.rf
gpg-pubkey-66534c2b-41d57eae
kernel-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL
pcre-6.7-1
perl-Time-TAI64-2.11-1.el4.sme
perl-Unicode-IMAPUtf7-2.01-1
perl-Unix-ConfigFile-0.06-3.el4.sme
perl-Mail-RFC822-Address-0.3-1.el4.sme

Those are not the correct ones smecontribs should not be enabled byt default, base and updates should. They will most certainly bring you the newer kernel. The correct ones are in the FAQ in the wiki as well.

There may be a bug in AFFA? I also get the rpm discrepancy report:

*
* The following packages are installed on both,
* the source 192.168.1.1 and on this backup host,
* but the version does not match:
*
perl-Mail-DKIM-0.30.1-1.el4.rf
kernel-2.6.9-67.0.7.EL
smeserver-subversion-1.4-17.el4.sme
rrdtool-1.0.50-1.2.el4.rf
smeserver-sysmon-6.0-1

But when I run "yum list kernel" on both machines it shows that same kernel:

Installed Packages
kernel.i686                              2.6.9-67.0.1.EL        installed
kernel.i686                              2.6.9-67.0.7.EL        installed
kernel.i686                              2.6.9-67.0.4.EL        installed
Available Packages
kernel.i586                              2.6.9-67.0.7.EL        smeupdates

There may be a bug in AFFA?

Then post a bug report in the correct place ie in bugzilla
