Hi people, I'm new to this list but not to yum. Just want to say thank-you to the great work that has gone into creating a much needed linux tool. Yum has become such a way of life for me I find it almost impossible to get away from the Fedora/RedHat-yum combo. If I can't 'yum install whatever' then it's probably gonna be more trouble than its worth ... so yay for yum! Ok - enough sucking up - here's my problem :) I have rebuilt the openssl-0.9.6b-35.7.rpm from source with modifications to fix the latest vulnerability issue. I rebuild with 'rpmbuild -ba --target i386 --target i686 openssl.spec'. All goes well and I have 4 new binary rpms at the end of it ... openssl-0.9.6b-35.7.1.i386.rpm openssl-devel-0.9.6b-35.7.1.i386.rpm openssl-perl-0.9.6b-35.7.1.i386.rpm openssl-0.9.6b-35.7.1.i686.rpm If I install these rpms manually - they install fine. If I stick them in my yum repository, run yum-arch, then try updating a machine, I get the following ... [root@rh73uni root]# yum update Error: Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'base'. Skipping Gathering package information from servers Getting headers from: Red Hat Linux 7.3 updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies Dependencies resolved I will do the following: [update: openssl.i686] [update: openssl-devel.i386] Is this ok [y/N]: y Calculating available disk space - this could take a bit error: unpacking of archive failed on file /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6b;40bf2502: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch openssl-devel 49 % doerror: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/libcrypto.a;40bf2502: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch openssl-devel 71 % doneUpdated: openssl.i686 openssl-devel.i386 Transaction(s) Complete Any ideas why the yum has trouble unpacking the archives when rpm handles with no errors? thanks pantz -- Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes ...
