RedHat ES 2.1 is based on 7.3. You'll find you have : # rpm -aq | grep rpm rpm-4.0.4-7x.20 >From YUM's download page : http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download.ptml Requirements ------------- rpm-4.0.x 7.3 and earlier 1.0.3 anything up to and including yum 1.0.3 rpm-4.1 8.0 1.0.3* anything up to and including yum 1.0.3 Beneath that : Stable for Red Hat Linux 7.3 (or prior w/conf file edit): yum-1.0.3-1_73.noarch.rpm Stable for Red Hat Linux 8.0 w/librpm404 and rpm404-python: yum-1.0.3-1_80.noarch.rpm So, you should be using : yum-1.0.3-1_73.noarch.rpm You've got the version for RedHat 8 based dist's (which is none of the ES's.. :( ) For ES 3, you should use yum-2.0.7-1.noarch.rpm S. -----Original Message----- From: yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Aaron P. Martinez Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 11:47 PM To: Yellowdog Updater, Modified Subject: [Yum] RedHat 2.1 ES FYI Not sure if anyone is using it for this platform (RedHat 2.1 ES), but I am, and found that i was required to use the 1.x version of yum..... I downloaded the src.rpm and built....but the resulting rpm had an 8 in the name instead of a 7.x as the system seems to be built upon a mixture of 7.2 and 7.3 redhat... it seemed odd to me..but well...being the accepting person i am..i said..hey.OK trying to install was a nightmare.......it kept telling me i needed the rpm 4.1 dependencies and i tried to fulfull them but to no avail...i, like yum didn't want to force any installs so after realizing that 2.1 uses 4.0.x rpm i installed (instead of rebuilding) the src.rpm and took out the librpm and rpm404 dependencies in the spec file then rebuilt..... then installed w/o a hitch....... works like a charm... Please, to all..let me know if i'm breaking something by doing this...... Thanks in advance.
