Topic: Update2 installation troubles

[ale]

Hi all...
I've been trying a few times to install Upgrade 2 rpms as adviced in the home page of e-smith.org.
normal rpm -Uvh procedure is not working, message says files are already installed, but only four of them,
 I have a clean 5.5 box with upgrade 1 and jukebox blades installed.
(Will this new upgrade be available as a blade? )

I'm not sure if the upgrade was completed..... after trying again I get the same message but installation process seems to be stopped.(the same as as the first time I tryed)
This is the message

[root@server update2]# rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
package apache-1.3.22-6es1 is already installed
package openssh-3.1p1-2es2 is already installed
package openssh-clients-3.1p1-2es2 is already installed
package openssh-server-3.1p1-2es2 is already installed
[root@server update2]# [root@server update2]# rpm -Uvh *.rpm
bash: [root@server:

any Ideas?
Many Thanks in advance....
Ale

Try:

rpm -Fhv *.rpm
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

Charlie,

That won't apply the SMEServer-5.1.2_Update3-01.noarch.rpm - that requires a -Uvh option.

rpm -Uhv --force *.rpm
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

that will do it...

Thanks a lot for the ideas.
It worked ok by doing a one by one Uvh rpm instal after checking rpmlist in the log files... yes it is the long way to solve it but its safe..

thanks again, any way..

I updated my server and got the same messages. I just installed the other packages. Should I go back and force the four that did not install or are they as they say already installed, therefore being no need

If you have the earlier updates applied (everybody does, don't they?), then "rpm -Fhv ..." will update the SMEServer RPM from 5.1.2_Update2 to 5.1.2_Update3.

Charlie,

My apologies - I rechecked and it shows as installed. However, when I entered the -Fvh option, rpm only showed the openssl rpm as being installed, for some reason.

Des,

I had the same thing happen on my 5.1.2 machine when updating with the -Fvh option mentioned by Charlie.  Normally I'm used to seeing all the rpms being installed, but that did not happen in this case.  Charlie: Is this normal?  I followed that with the post-config and reboot commands, and it does say Update 3 is installed.

PLease notice that the following commands must be issued to upgrade.

Updates for SMEServer versions 5.5, 5.1.2 and 5.1.1
To install the update, download the appropriate RPMS into a directory on your SME Server and run the following commands as root

    rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs *.rpm
    /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
    /sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

Notice the --replacepkgs option

Rgds,
