Title: Is this a bug or can other people update?
Post by: robbie on March 17, 2006, 07:49:43 AM

I'm can't update as Yum appears to be looking in the wrong path for files.

This is the error I get after using 'yum update'

try these commandes


db yum_repositories setprop base status enabled
db yum_repositories setprop addons status enabled
db yum_repositories setprop base Visible yes
db yum_repositories setprop addons Visible yes

expand-template /etc/yum.conf

Afterwards you might want to disable these repositories again

db yum_repositories setprop base status disabled
db yum_repositories setprop addons status disabled
expand-template /etc/yum.conf

No, please don't. We don't need or want the CentOS 'base' and 'addons' repositories enabled for standard servers.

Sorry Gordon, I assumed it was OK, I use these yum repositories commands to install mod perl & such things as imagemagick

db yum_repositories setprop base status enabled
db yum_repositories setprop addons status enabled
db yum_repositories setprop base Visible yes
db yum_repositories setprop addons Visible yes

In enabling these yum repositories, will it cause any issues or conflict with sme 7

The CentOS base repository is relatively safe. However, you probably also want the updates repository in order to pick up updates for additional packages you install, and that needs to be done with care. For example, if CentOS release a new kernel and we haven't built the kernel modules, Appletalk and PPTP will break.

I would class the addons repository as unsafe. It contains an incompatible version of PHP, for starters.

I have seen similiar errors using Yum on Centos 4.2 when behind a transparent proxy server.  Since this is SME server, the is not likely the case unless your ISP has a trasnparent proxy in place.  Hope that helps a little.
