Greets,
I am having a really hard time completing the following upgrade. I
started with a RHEL 4 system and switched it over to CentOS 4.3 like
so:
I downloaded the following from a CentOS mirror into an empty
directory (in my case, they're on my USB memory stick):
centos-release-4-2.1.i386.rpm
centos-yumconf-4-4.3.noarch.rpm
python-elementtree-1.2.6-4.i386.rpm
python-sqlite-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm
python-urlgrabber-2.9.6-2.noarch.rpm
RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
sqlite-3.2.2-1.i386.rpm
yum-2.4.0-1.centos4.noarch.rpm
Then ran:
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
rpm -e --nodeps redhat-release
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
then
yum upgrade
Yum upgrade is chewing up all the available RAM and swap on the system
and failing to complete. Here's what happens:
[root@delhi yum]# yum clean all
Cleaning up Everything
0 headers removed
0 packages removed
9 metadata files removed
0 cache files removed
1 cache files removed
[root@delhi yum]# yum -y upgrade

MemoryError
All my attempts to work around this have failed. I found a few
threads on the 'net about FC5, yum, and sqlite but I don't think that
bug applies here.
Any suggestions for how I can get a yum upgrade to complete would be
greatly appreaciated.
Thanks.
