Dotan,
This is not a bug. When you invoke vim as 'vi', the -C option is added, which
sets Vim to Vi-compatible mode; this disables a number of features, including
:history. From :help history :
:his[tory] Print the history of last entered commands.

The {not in Vi} means that this feature is not available in Vi-compatible

Re: [CentOS] Issue with Perl and rpmforge - advice?

In my most recent attempts to update this, I get the following errors in yum: hi Mark! you have a couple of different issues going on here. first off, a more appropriate forum for this question is probably the RPMforge users list, us...@lists.rpmforge.net. let's take the conversation over there, so that we don't spam everyone. rkhunter has, as best i can tell, no connection with perl-AnyEvent, which is the package that is triggering your conflict; it looks like you may be trying to updated several packages at once. please try running just $ sudo yum update rkhunter and let me know (over on the users list) how that works for you. Resolving Dependencies -- Running transaction check --- Package perl-AnyEvent.noarch 0:5.240-1.el5.rf set to be updated ... -- Finished Dependency Resolution perl-AnyEvent-5.240-1.el5.rf.noarch from rpmforge has depsolving problems -- Missing Dependency: perl(Net::SSLeay) = 1.33 is needed by package perl-AnyEvent-5.240-1.el5.rf.noarch (rpmforge) Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Net::SSLeay) = 1.33 is needed by package perl-AnyEvent-5.240-1.el5.rf.noarch (rpmforge) ... This seems to be because my current perl installation has the following: perl-Net-SSLeay.x86_64 1.30-4.fc6 installed IIRC, this is part of the base perl package, which repo has higher priority than the rpmforge repo (of course), which in turn makes the rpmforge perl packages invisible. not quite; there is indeed a perl-Net-SSLeay package that comes from upstream, but it's a separate package (as your yum output shows), not part of the base perl package (perl-5.8.8-32.el5_5.1 at the time of writing). Questions: 1) Are the newer perl packages from rpmforge compatible with the installed base perl packages? many packages from RPMforge install cleanly without replacing any upstream packages; some, on the other hand, do require later versions of packages than are available from upstream. i'm not sure quite what you're asking; when you try to install a package that needs to clobber an upstream package, you'll see yum output similar to what you're seeing now, and then you need to decide how badly you want the newer version. 2) What other implications should I be looking for if I try this (other than the obvious caveat about other rpmforge rpms breaking other base rpms)? there's more discussion of a similar issue over here: http://www.mail-archive.com/us...@lists.rpmforge.net/msg01291.html in brief: if you don't want to clobber the upstream perl-Net-SSLeay package, then you don't get to safely install perl-AnyEvent-5.240, and you need to stay on an older version of perl-AnyEvent. on the other hand, if you want the latest perl-AnyEvent, then you need to replace the perl-Net-SSLeay package that you got from upstream. There's a fair amount of perl support in the installed base, I just want to be sure I'm not likely to break it. sounds like it's a good idea to roll out this change on a test system before you deploy it on your production systems, then :) -steve -- If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction. - Fabian, Twelfth Night, III,v http://five.sentenc.es/ PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I’m currently setting up ntop as a NetFlow SFlow collector and came across the issue. A quick refresher, the init script for ntop has an issue where it can’t parse the ntop.conf file correctly if switches are entered before the “@/etc/ntop.conf”. The suggested work around was to move the “-d –L” switches from in front of the “@/ etc/ntop.conf” and put them behind it. This is definitely the fix. There is a caveat to that and I haven’t found anyone that has mentioned it so I thought I would. According to the documentation, if you add the switches after the “@/etc/ntop.conf” those will override the configurations in the ntop.conf file. While this isn’t an issue with the “-d” option, if you decide to use a custom syslog level and add it to the conf file, the “-L” switch after the conf file will override your custom log facility. In my init file I left the “-d” but removed the “-L” expecting me to put my own syslog entry in the conf file. thanks for the report! the appropriate place to report such issues is the RPMforge users' list, us...@lists.rpmforge.net. i've committed a fix; once the package is rebuilt, it should appear in the repository. -steve -- If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction. - Fabian, Twelfth Night, III,v http://five.sentenc.es PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
