RE: [CentOS] yum problem after last kernel (SOLVED)

2008-05-19 Thread Alex Palenschat
Hello all, I've been googling and haven't found an answer. I have a
Centos 4.6 box that is having an issue since the last yum update. The
nss_ldap and kernel packages were the only packages installed/updated.
When I try to run yum I now receive:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum update
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

   /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.3.so: undefined symbol:
xdr___db_get_name_reply[rpmdb

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.3.4 (#1, Dec 11 2007, 05:27:57)
[GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)]

Responding to my own post. I'm not sure how it was corrupted, but I only
had to redownload the rpm-libs package and issue a rpm -Uvh --force
command to resolve this. So I thought I'd post it in case somebody else
runs into the same error.

RE: [CentOS] sendmail and cups gets installed although not chosen inkickstart file

2008-04-28 Thread Alex Palenschat
How can I find out what forced them (and probably many other unwanted 
packages) on the installation?
I thought maybe rpm -q --whatrequires sendmail would tell me, but it 
doesn't. Nothing requires it. Same for cups. So, why did it get
installed?

I usually do a rpm -q --provides package name and have it list the
capabilities that the rpm provides and then do a --whatrequires on the
capabilities themselves. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can jump
in and explain an easier way. But that is what I do. You'll see that one
of the items that sendmail provides is smptdaemon which is the usual
source of dependencies in my experience. However postfix also provides
it, so perhaps that's no help.

 Hi,
 
 Im using XFS on production server and waiting the release of
 kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-55.0.2 on CentOSPlus Repository to update. Any
 idea of release date?
 
 Thanks.

I am in the same boat. I cannot find an rpm that correlates to the
2.6.9-55.0.2 kernel. I am running this on an x86_64 architecture.

 It's this guy?
 
 kmod-xfs-0.4-1.el4.2.6.9_55.0.2.EL.x86_64.rpm
 

I have been using the kernel-module-xfs rpm. Did I miss a change to the
packaging/naming convention?

RE: [CentOS] XFS module

2007-07-17 Thread Alex Palenschat

 It's this guy?
 
 kmod-xfs-0.4-1.el4.2.6.9_55.0.2.EL.x86_64.rpm
 

If this is the replacement (I'm searching list archives but can't seem
to find any reference) then how do I load it. I have the yum priorities
plugin and it still tries to load the plus kernel (which I'm not using).
Do I load it by hand as I always did with kernel-module-xfs?

Thanks for answering,

alex
