I feel your pain. I made the mistake of following instructions for installing Asterisk on CentOS and trying them on an RHEL box awhile back. The version numbers were the same so I figured it would be safe. The directions had me add a repo that "upgraded" some vital packages and completely horked the system. Thankfully it was meant to ONLY be an asterisk server, nevertheless dependency hell was so bad I just wiped and reinstalled the OS.
On the bright side I now know several different ways how NOT to install a working asterisk server :) On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 9:07 AM, Charles Curley < [email protected]> wrote: > I just got hit with my own sloppiness. > > I have some Debian boxes where all the repos call out for "stable", and > others where all the repos call out for the release, "squeeze" or now > "wheezy".
