So now I have uninstalled it .. and have no possibility to reinstall.... argh.

but, on the other hand, yum update now gives no errors..  and as it it late, I will risk saying OK. now. it is downloading Horde right now.

still, I saved the package perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el4.rf.noarch.rpm in my home, so I can install it if something complains..

let's hope for the best..

It appears that you still haven't disabled the 'dag' repository in your yum configuration.

[CharlieBrady]

yes it is..

You appear to have not updated the yum configuration after changing the db status. Use server-manager, or signal-event or expand-template.

Thank you Mary,

I thought that signal-event post-upgrade would also recreate the yum repo files.
however this time I did a signal-event yum-modify

with the perl-IO-Compress package removed, the server updated fine.

now it is a few days later, everything seems, ok, but i'm investigating, before updating my mail server...

thank you all for your time!

I thought that signal-event post-upgrade would also recreate the yum repo files.

signal-event post-upgrade won't. signal-event post-upgrade ; signal-event reboot should. signal-event post-upgrade must *always* be immediately followed by reboot.

signal-event post-upgrade won't. signal-event post-upgrade ; signal-event reboot should.

I find that strange.. but I did it right anyway because I gave a signal-event reboot afterwards

Why would a reboot recreate my yum config???  surely there are some really good reasons which me noob need not know..

anyway, nice to know..

As part of the boot process after a signal-event post-upgrade is re-expanding all configuration files that should be generated after installation/upgrade so when your system is up, it has the actual and up-to-date configuration files available to populate services and applications.
