Hi -
I have my own non-public yum repository. It is an exact copy of a
public mirror.
Using what mirroring tool ?
On a client, I run 'yum update' but encounter problems.
Error: Missing Dependency: python = 2.3.4-14.3 is needed by package
tkinter Error: python-devel conflicts with python < 2.3.4-14.3 Error:
Missing Dependency: python = 2.3.4-14.3 is needed by package
python-devel Error: Missing Dependency: python = 2.3.4-14.3 is needed
by package python-tools
My client has python-2.3.4-14.2 installed. The base directory on my
yum server has a python-2.3.4-14.2 RPM while the updates directory
has a python-2.3.4-14.3 RPM. When yum prints to the screen the list
of packages to install, it never lists python-2.3.4-14.3. Why
doesn't it try to install the python-2.3.4-14.3 RPM from the updates
directory?
Yum uses the repodata to determine what is available, not the rpms
themselves. Also, it caches retrieval of the metadata for 15 minutes by
default, so newly mirrored info is not immediately avail {yum clean
metadata}.
How do I troublehshoot this?
yum -d 15 whatever to check it is really accessing the correct repo
servers etc.
A run of 'yum check-update' does show that other RPMs in the update
dir are going to be installed, just not the python RPM.
Since there is a -devel installed, to be able to update to a newer main
package, there also needs to be a newer -devel available in the repo.
Same applies to python-tools/tkinter.
Can you give the actual output of $ yum list python* tkinter ?
