Hi
We have been successfully updated from SL5.0 to SL5.1 and from
SL5.1 to SL5.2 (both i386 and x86_64) so far, by
1) Changing /etc/yum.repos.d/files point to the 5.0 - 5.1 (or
5.1- 5.2)
2) yum update yum
3) yum clean all
4) yum update
(This method seems to be not supported officially. So please try at
your own risk)
Over a period of months, or all in a rush just now? Going directly
from 5.0 to 5.3 should work, and a lot more quickly.
However, from SL5.2 to SL5.3, yum update method as mentioned above
for several nodes (in which packages are not fully installed)
succeeded .
But on the several nodes (full-installed node) this method failed
with the
conflicts relating to the Perl modules.

I agree with Valery, it's likely to be packages of different
architectures.
Here's how to check:
rpm -q perl
Probably it will be listed twice.
Another check:
20:55 [sum...@bobtail ~]$ rpm -qa perl\* --qf '%{name} %{arch}\n'
perl x86_64
perl-BSD-Resource x86_64
and so on.
I don't know the proper resolution to this, but Troy and Connie will
probably tell us.
I'm looking into this.
The original RHEL5 x86_64 had both perl.i386 and perl.x86_64. I know
we had left the perl.i386 in SL 5.2 because of this upgrade problem.
But with Update 3, there were several packages that changed arch, so I
really need to update the update page, with more than just the perl
update. I'll be doing that today. But for now, here is how to do it
1 - update files in your yum.repos.d directory
2 - yum clean all
3 - yum update yum
4 - yum remove perl.i386
5 - yum update glibc
6 - yum update
There will actually be 3 or 4 more steps because there are some other
packages that are troublesome. I'll reply to this when I have it done.

Hi, Troy, Valery
Thank you for the useful information. This yum-update problem to SL5.3
occurs on the X86_64 node where both perl x86_64 and i386 are installed.
# rpm -q perl
perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3.x86_64
perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3.i386
#
We have tested Troy's method as mentioned above for five nodes (x86_64)
which experienced yum-updated problem relating to the conflicts with perl.
All of them are successful. Following is a part of the yum update logs.
# rpm -q perl
perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3.x86_64
perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3.i386
#
(1 - update files in your yum.repos.d directory to point to 5.3)

(3 - yum update yum)
