Title: Yum update problem
Post by: Franco on March 21, 2007, 09:31:11 PM

After messing with Yum, when I tried upgrading it gives me an error:

Code: [Select]

[root@sme ~]# yum update

Anyone have a solution for this?
I tried removing the db as another post suggest:
/home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories
with no luck!

there is the option - yum clean

you need to put one of the options below after:
headers, packages, cache, metadata or all

for example:

yum clean headers

haven't used this myself, but maybe starting with the yum clean metadata as this is the point your yum update fails

Go all the way with

Code: [Select]

yum clean all
however it looks like sme 'modified' yum is failing.
So try

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/smeupdates/i386/RPMS/smeserver-yum-1.2.0-27.el4.sme.noarch.rpm

or try

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/yum clean all
/usr/bin/yum update
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

the local files seem to be the problem!

I mean did you delete it before trying the above steps?

Yes, besides the above commands will clear it all.
I'm about to try copying the configuration files from a good system to mine and see what happens.

Thanks,

Which command in particular?

I created the file

Code: [Select]

pico -w /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/yum.conf/21gnome216
Pasted in

Code: [Select]

[lpt-desktop]
name=Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - LPT Desktop 3.6 para Enterprise Linux 4
baseurl=http://bruto.sys-net.it/lpt
gpgkey=http://www.linuxparatodos.net/lpt/LPT-RPM-KEY
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
and did

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/yum.conf
yum update then failed due to that repo.

I did the commands from previous post and nothing removed that repo.

I then

Code: [Select]

rm -f /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/yum.conf/21gnome216

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/yum.conf

Code: [Select]

yum clean all
and things were back to normal.

In addition, what did you do about this..

Quote

enable groups for the contos repo in /etc/yum.conf
