Can someone tell the what the concensous was on the best way to do the upgrade and avoid problems. From my notes I got:

yum upgrade python-sqlite
yum upgrade sqllite
yum upgrade yum
yum clean all
yum update

But at least one guy said his box was still hosed with duplicates and a broken bind after that.

What's the method to upgrade 4.3-> 4.4 with the highest change of sucess?


That procedure should be fine. The broken bind thing happens when people have the caching nameserver installed. I always delete it if the machine needs to run as a nameserver.

That is not true. The broken bind thing happens if you have bind installed. I have no caching-nameservers installed here and every one of them broke on upgrade. The fix is to simply make the keys in /etc/rned.key and /etc/rndc.conf the same. There is an upstream bug open on this and a fix will be available
someday. :-(


Excellent, I do run bind, and I am familiar with the rndc key. So the procedure that should work properly for 4.3 to 4.4 update is:

yum upgrade python-sqlite
yum upgrade sqllite
yum upgrade yum
yum clean all
yum update
massage bind rndc keys/files as required so keys match.

You, or anyone else kow of anything else I need to watch for?

Thanks guys,
Scott
