yum update was killed at an inopportune time, leaving ipa\* and xorg\* in an inconsistent state. yum-complete-transaction looks like it it's going to erase the entire system and then fails. >From the transaction files, the following are in: install 0:ipa-python-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 install 0:ipa-client-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 install 0:xorg-x11-server-common-1.10.6-1.0.1.el6.centos.x86_64 install 0:ipa-admintools-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 rpm -q ipa-server returns: ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 rpm -q ipa-server-selinux returns: ipa-server-selinux-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 Thinking I could remove the old and then drop in the new, I tried: rpm -e ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-selinux-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 but that fails with: ipa-server-selinux = 2.2.0-17.el6_3.1 is needed by (installed) ipa-server-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 Normally I'd not be hesitant about trying different options, perhaps with --nodeps, and then reinstalling if my inexperience proved to be fatal, but this machine is not unimportant, so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much for your time. Cheers, Zube _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
