[Yum] Confused about 'Test Transaction'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Seth, thanks for the help on IRC today.  After a bit more testing,
I've realized a couple things:

1) If I run rpm -U --test javalinks-1.4.2_01-1.i386.rpm
it gives the conflicting file errors every time.

2) If I run 'yum install javalinks' (using the same package as above, of
course), it sometimes installs and sometimes gives the error during the
test transaction.  It seems to install 4 out of 5 times on average - 1
out of 5 times (give or take) it gives the conflicting file errors. 
This is when I am repeatadly running 'yum install javalinks', 'yum erase
javalinks'.

So, I installed yum-2.0.5.  Now the 'yum install javalinks' gives the
error every time - this is good!  But now I want to throw in even more
confusion, so:

# yum erase glut glut-devel
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)

[...]

I will do the following:
[erase: glut 3.7-12.i386]
[erase: glut-devel 3.7-12.i386]
Is this ok [y/N]: y
Running test transaction:
Test transaction complete, Success!
Erasing: glut-devel 1/2
Erasing: glut 2/2
Erased:  glut 3.7-12.i386 glut-devel 3.7-12.i386
