Subject: confsued at behaviour of 'yum install/update' command
Hi, all,
These days I got confused at the 'yum install' and 'yum update' commands. The problem is described below:
Suppose there have been three packages: pkgA, pkgB, pkgC. Package pkgA depends on pkgB and pkgB depends on pkgC.
When 'yum install pkgA' runned at the first time, yum found and installed all three packages, pkgA and pkgB and pkgC at their newest version.
Then after some time, when all three packages have newer versions built, and 'yum update pkgA' command is carried out, only pkgA itself is updated to newest version, while pkgB and pkgC is still at old version untouched.
'yum install pkgA' and 'yum upgrade pkgA' have no effects neither.
Any one can shed a light on this problem? Is there an option to turn on depending upgrade(pkgB), or even recursive dependency upgrade(pkgC)? Thanks a lot.
Have a nice weekend.
