Hi, I have a set of RHEL5.2 servers. They were installed with the exact same kickstart profile and the difference in setup is purely the time of install. During a routine check of the packages installed on a pair of these I discovered that the "older" server had old versions listed for various packages, snippet of the diff below : --- rpmlist.oldsrv 2009-01-08 15:45:05.072961519 +0100 +++ rpmlist.newsrv 2009-01-08 15:45:09.239815270 +0100 @@ -12,7 +12,6 @@ audit-libs-1.6.5-9.el5 audit-libs-python-1.6.5-9.el5 authconfig-5.3.21-3.el5 -autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.88 autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.88.el5_2.1 bacula-client-2.0.3-10.el5 bacula-common-2.0.3-10.el5 @@ -21,12 +20,9 @@ bc-1.06-21 beecrypt-4.1.2-10.1.1 bind-libs-9.3.4-6.0.2.P1.el5_2 -bind-libs-9.3.4-6.P1.el5 bind-utils-9.3.4-6.0.2.P1.el5_2 -bind-utils-9.3.4-6.P1.el5 binutils-2.17.50.0.6-6.el5 bzip2-1.0.3-4.el5_2 -bzip2-libs-1.0.3-3 bzip2-libs-1.0.3-4.el5_2 I found this a bit strange, these were simply set up and updated via yum update, the normal way. Checking the syslog confirms, with events like this : messages.3:Dec 19 10:08:45 oldsrv yum: Updated: bzip2-libs - 1.0.3-4.el5_2.x86_64 Is this a known issue? Is this even Yum related or RPM related? In case this is a known issue, is there an easy way to purge the old versions of said packages? Any light shed on this issue would be very welcome. I'll check Red Hat Bugzilla too.
