Topic: Updating v5.0?

[Mike]

I reinstalled SME 5.0 and downloaded all of the updates (1 through 6) for it.

When I installed them one-by-one (rpm -Uvh *.rpm) I get problems.

When installing Update1 I get:

rpm -Uvh *.rpm
warning: LOOP:

When I install Update2 I get:

rpm -Uvh *.rpm
warning: LOOP:

So obviously something isn't working. Is this the right way to update SME?

Thanks

FYI, updates are cumulative. You only need to install the latest version. However, Update 4 fixed a bug with doing updates, so you need to install that first. So you can just install Updates 4 and 6, and you'll be set.

Argh! So I've screwed things up now by installing update 1? Update 6 didn't install anything...

If you look at the install script, the newer updates use the "--nodeps" option, and installs the RPMs one by one (as opposed to *.rpm). It's probably easiest to just use the script...
