Hello, I am updating my rhel5 system after about six months. The package updater quit with a long list of unresolved dependencies.
I tried cleaning the cache, but that did not help. I am now trying to do the update with `yum update --skip-broken'. After a download of some 675M's the install stalled again because of error messages, which I am not sure how to handle. Here is the transcript for `nspr': [...@cysshd1 mv]$ sudo yum install nspr Loaded plugins: downloadonly, rhnplugin Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package nspr.i386 0:4.7.6-1.el5_4 set to be updated ---> Package nspr.x86_64 0:4.7.6-1.el5_4 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved =================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size =================================================================================================== Updating: nspr i386 4.7.6-1.el5_4 rhel-x86_64-client-5 119 k nspr x86_64 4.7.6-1.el5_4 rhel-x86_64-client-5 118 k Transaction Summary =================================================================================================== Install 0 Package(s) Update 2 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total size: 237 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve: nspr is needed by (installed) nspr-devel-4.7.3-2.el5.i386 nspr is needed by (installed) nspr-devel-4.7.3-2.el5.i386 Complete! (1, [u'Please report this error in http://yum.baseurl.org/report'<http://yum.baseurl.org/report%27> ]) [...@cysshd1 mv]$ I am puzzled by that error. What does it mean. I also went to the website, but I am not sure what is expected there. I have found the following nspr rpms on my system: find /var/cache/yum -name "nspr*" /var/cache/yum/rhel-x86_64-client-5/packages/nspr-4.7.6-1.el5_4.x86_64.rpm /var/cache/yum/rhel-x86_64-client-5/packages/nspr-4.7.6-1.el5_4.i386.rpm [...@cysshd1 mv]$ I have also found the following command to force an in-place update: # rpm -Uvh --replacefiles --replacepkgs /path/to/some.rpm But I gather that nspr is used by quite a few system packages, and I do not want to damage the system. Is it safe for me to execute the rpm command above. Also, can someone explain to me the need for both i386 and x86_64 libraries? Thanks, Mirko
