Topic: Updating 6.0b3

[Michael Roed]

I have just upgraded my SME 5.6 to 6.0b3 and that went well but when I try to run the updates for 6.0b3 I get a lot of errors mostly about dependencies.

Am I doing something wrong? I would really like to get the updates done so my virtuel domains will work again )

It's hard to tell if you're doing something wrong when you don't say what you're doing, or what happens when you do it.

OK, I have downloaded all files from one of the FTP sites. Copied them to a folder on the server and from there I have tried typing "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" and "rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs *.rpm" but both of them gives me a lot of errors saying something about each rpm can't be updated because of existing modul !!!

You might want to look at http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org/msg12159.html.

I did this on a clean install of 6.0beta3 and all seems to be well.

If one module already exist, just rename it (to avoid delete!) to .same.rpm and issue the rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs *.rpm again till you get it working.

And do
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

When it came back, check with rpm -qa | grep SME

John thanx! I tried the --force option and it worked perfectly!

My virtuel domains work now.
