Topic: Upgrading from 7.1 should I download the ISO and use that instead of yum update?

[bdbaddog]

Greetings,

I'm following the directions here to upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2 from here:
http://wiki.contribs.org/Updating_to_SME_7.2#Yum_Update

It complains about missing dependency for whiptail, see output below.
Is it safe to assume the FAQ for this is out of date?
Would I be better off downloading the latest 7.x iso and using that to upgrade?

Thanks,
Bill

Which makes me wonder if adding e-smith-lib to the list in the FAQ would resolve the issue.
So tried

Code: [Select]

yum update smeserver-yum yum sqlite python-sqliteThat left it complaining that e-smith-base required whiptail, so I added that to the list

Code: [Select]

yum update smeserver-yum yum sqlite python-sqlite e-smith-lib e-smith-baseAnd that looks o.k.

Is it o.k to amend the recommendations in the FAQ with those two additional packages?

Thanks,
