His problem, basically, is that he has a spec for postfix which does: Prereq: mysql ... %post /run/some/newly/installed/bin/linked/against/mysql (/usr/sbin/postconf, in this case) Given that spec, when he does # yum update postfix he's expecting yum to hit the prereq, install mysql first, then install postfix (in which case the %post would work) Instead, # yum update postfix tries to upgrade postfix, then install mysql, which won't work because the postfix %post crashes and burns.... later, chris
