In preparation for trying to do this as part of a postinstall, I manually ran this command: yum -y install `cat file_full_of_package_names` After installing a number of packages, it aborted with rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery error: db4 error(-30978) from dbenv->close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery and it refused to install any more packages. I had to run "rpm --rebuilddb" to recover. Perhaps something similar is happening in your case. -- Peter Fales Lucent Technologies, Room 1C-436 N9IYJ 2000 N Naperville Rd PO Box 3033 internet: psfales@xxxxxxxxxx Naperville, IL 60566-7033 work: (630) 979-8031 On Fri, Aug 20, 2004 at 09:39:55AM +0200, Luis Miguel Cruz wrote: > Hi all, > > I am trying to run 'yum -y update' at %postinstall section. > At first it seems to runs correctly, downloading the headers.
