Hi all, I am seeing some weird behaviour with yum wrt upgrading packages. At this point I am not sure if this is a yum problem or I if I am going brain dead. If I do yum list updates I get: (tigger pts8) # yum list updates Gathering package information from servers Getting headers from: Red Hat Linux 8.0 base Getting headers from: Red Hat Linux 8.0 docs Getting headers from: rogueind 8.0 local updates Getting headers from: Red Hat Linux 8.0 updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers No Packages Available (tigger pts8) # If I do rpm -qa | grep fwbuilder I get: (tigger pts8) # rpm -qa | grep fwbuilder libfwbuilder-1.0.0-RC2 fwbuilder-1.0.10-RC5 fwbuilder-ipt-1.0.10-RC5 (tigger pts8) # an ls -l of the repository shows: (icarus pts2) # ll total 7756 -rw-r--r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 2130191 May 22 17:09 fwbuilder-1.0.10-1.rh80.i386.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 2130100 May 14 07:26 fwbuilder-1.0.10-RC5.rh80.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 207398 May 22 17:09 fwbuilder-ipt-1.0.10-1.rh80.i386.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 207402 May 14 07:26 fwbuilder-ipt-1.0.10-RC5.rh80.i386.rpm drwxr-sr-x 2 root ftp 4096 May 22 17:20 headers -rw-r--r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 457176 May 22 17:08 libfwbuilder-1.0.0-1.rh80.i386.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 457177 May 14 07:26 libfwbuilder-1.0.0-RC2.rh80.i386.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 629546 May 14 07:26 libfwbuilder-devel-1.0.0-RC2.rh80.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 94864 May 21 23:25 yum-1.0.1-1_80.noarch.rpm (icarus pts2) # header.info looks like this: icarus pts2) # more header.info 0:fwbuilder-ipt-1.0.10-RC5.i386=fwbuilder-ipt-1.0.10-RC5.rh80.i386.rpm 0:libfwbuilder-devel-1.0.0-RC2.i386=libfwbuilder-devel-1.0.0-RC2.rh80.i386.rpm 0:yum-1.0.1-1_80.noarch=yum-1.0.1-1_80.noarch.rpm 0:fwbuilder-1.0.10-RC5.i386=fwbuilder-1.0.10-RC5.rh80.i386.rpm 0:libfwbuilder-1.0.0-1.i386=libfwbuilder-1.0.0-1.rh80.i386.rpm (icarus pts2) # and yum.conf: (tigger pts9) # cat /etc/yum.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest [base] name=Red Hat Linux $releasever base baseurl=file:///icarus/mirrors/ftp/pub/yum-repository/redhat/$releasever/$basearch [updates] name=Red Hat Linux $releasever updates baseurl=file:///icarus/mirrors/ftp/pub/yum-repository/redhat/updates/$releasever/ [local_updates] name=rogueind $releasever local updates baseurl=file:///icarus/mirrors/ftp/pub/yum-repository/local/$releasever/$basearch Now the really weird part of this is that if I do rpm -Fvh fwbuilder-1.0.10-1.rh80.i386.rpm rpm tries to upgrade the fwbuilder package. Soooo what I am trying to figure out is why does yum think fwbuilder is up to date and rpm does not?? Am I going crazy here or is there really something wrong here?? -- .............Tom "Nothing would please me more than being able to tdiehl@xxxxxxxxxxxx hire ten programmers and deluge the hobby market with good software." -- Bill Gates 1976 We are still waiting ....
