Hi Everyone, Thanks for your messages. Further to this, it looks like the default settings for RHEL6 does indeed make "yum upgrade" == "yum update --obsoletes". Looking at my /etc/yum.conf: obsoletes=1
Which means that obsoletes is true by default on update.

Subject: Re: [389-users] Yum Update vs Yum Upgrade Good Morning, "yum upgrade" === "yum update --obsoletes" where the "-obsoletes" flag says to remove packages that have been made obsolete by the upgrade (say you're upgrading from 5.9 to 6.5). Cheers!

Then when searching around the 389-ds documentation, I came across the install page that said that I must use "yum upgrade ..." and not update. My question is what's the difference between yum update and upgrade? I think they are the same. If someone knows any difference between "yum update" and "yum upgrade" I'd like to hear it. Is it OK if I leave it like that or should I do the yum upgrade? It is OK to leave it like that. The service seems to be running OK after "yum update", so far. I went from 1.2.11.15-14.el6_4 --> 1.2.11.29-1.el6 Thanks, Trev --------------------------------------------------------- Trevor Fong - Senior Programmer Analyst Identity and Access Management Group University of British Columbia - Information Technology 6356 Agricultural Road, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z2, Canada Ph: (604) 827-5247 -- 389 users mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users -- 389 users mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users -- David - Offbeat http://dafydd.livejournal.com dafydd - Online http://pgp.mit.edu/ Battalion 4 - Black Rock City Emergency Services Department Integrity*Commitment*Communication*Support ----5----1----5----2----5----3----5----4----5----5----5----6----5----7-- Pavlov walks into a bar.
