Hello list,
I have tracked down a critical yum error message:
kernel-source-2.6.27.25-0.1.1.x86_64
was supposed to be installed but is not!
Now it gets interesting.
I get this error on "yum update":
Running Transaction
Updating : kernel-source-2.6.27.25-0.1.1.x86_64
Cleanup : kernel-source-2.6.27.23-0.1.1.x86_64
kernel-source-2.6.27.25-0.1.1.x86_64 was supposed to be installed but
is not!
But _not_ on:
yum update
/var/cache/yum/R0_os11.1/packages/kernel-source-2.6.27.25-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm
(which is the same rpm of course)
Updating:
kernel-source
x86_64 2.6.27.25-0.1.1 /kernel-source-2.6.27.25-0.1.1.x86_64

so running yum update does not work but
yum update /path/to/rpm.rpm works(!)
I use yum 3.2.23
including the lates patches from rawhide:
Patch0: installonlyn-enable.patch
Patch1: yum-mirror-priority.patch
Patch2: yum-manpage-files.patch
Patch3: yum-multilib-policy-best.patch
Patch4: yum-HEAD.patch
Patch5: no-more-exactarchlist.patch
Patch6: yum_no_deprected.patch
(The previous version 3.2.23 without the pachtes had the same problem btw.)
Here's what I suspect is happening:
- yum is running the rpm transaction
- the transaction finishes.
- yum goes to check that everything it was supposed to do is done.
- it finds that a package it was installing is not installed b/c the rpmdb
error you're getting means rpm was not able to register the entry in the
rpmdb
So your first order of business is: fix the db error you're getting.
After that I suspect the other problems will go away.
