After updating my IA-32 image SL 6 laptop to SL 6.4 using the update pathway from the automatically displayed anaconda GUI using the approximately 4Gbyte update/install DVD, rebooting and using the system, the red "badge" (Update Applet 2.28.3) with a bang appeared on the upper panel. The claim is presented for 148 updates. I attempted to use the automatically displayed GUI updater that is invoked from the red badge icon. In addition to be exceptionally slow because of poor USA DSL bandwidth at my home, the following diagnostics appeared:Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py", line 2798, in install_signature self.yumbase.getKeyForPackage(pkg, askcb = lambda x, y, z: True) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 4765, in getKeyForPackage result, errmsg = self.sigCheckPkg(po) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 2189, in sigCheckPkg sigresult = rpmUtils.miscutils.checkSig(ts, po.localPkg()) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rpmUtils/miscutils.py", line 67, in checkSig fdno = os.open(package, os.O_RDONLY) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/cache/yum/i386/6.4/adobe-linux-i386/packages/AdbeRdr9.5.4-1_i486linux_enu.rpm' could not add package update for lcms2-2.3-2.el6(i686)epel: lcms2-2.3-2.el6.i686 I cancelled the update and will try again later. 1. Does anyone know what is causing the above (recall that the DVD 6.4 upgrade was successful)?
Someone removed /var/cache/yum/i386/6.4/adobe-linux-i386/packages/AdbeRdr9.5.4-1_i486linux_
enu.rpm
2. As the on-line update is VERY slow for my situation, I attempted to let the process run overnight unattended. Is there anyway to do this automated install so that it will simply skip those packages that "fail" (as the above) without requiring root password authentication intervention, similar to the -y switch on fsck. I realize that such automation is not ideal, but it would be less total time to re-install from DVD in the event that the process resulted in a no-boot or highly unstable system. Thanks for any insight. Yasha Karant
