I've been trying to upgrade some of our systems using preupgrade, which
uses a combination of yum + anaconda. On our systems without any
exclusions in /etc/yum.conf or /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list
this all works fine, either by using 'preupgrade' or by doing a 'live
upgrade' by installing the new release rpms and then doing a 'yum update
--obsoletes'. However, when we try to preupgrade a machine that has
exclude entries in the yum config files then the release upgrade fails
and we get a message like:
Error Message:
TurboGears-1.0.4.4-2.fc9.noarch.rpm cannot be opened. This is due to a
missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media.
It turns out that TurboGears is one of the packages in the 'exclude='
list in /etc/yum.conf. So it looks like there is a disconnect between
the 'yum' part of the preupgrade processing and the 'anaconda' part of
the process.
Is there some way to configure yum or anaconda such that we can do a
preupgrade on systems having package exclusions in the yum config files?
Regards,
Gerry
