Hi I have inherited some kickstarts that attempt to remove some packages that at some point its been deemed they are not required. I am migrating all this over to cobbler but trying to get to the bottom of this error that although the kickstart completes sshd cant start as the package nss is not installed. It fails with this Installing nss - 3.11.99.5-2.el5.centos.x86_64 error: %pre(nss-3.11.99.5-2.el5.centos.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping nss-3.11.99.5-2.el5.centos Which seems to happen due to this error while loading shared libraries: libssl3.so yum tells me # yum provides libssl3.so nss.i386 : Network Security Services nss.i386 : Network Security Services so # yum search "Network Security Services" nss.i386 : Network Security Services nss-tools.x86_64 : Tools for the Network Security Services nss-devel.x86_64 : Development libraries for Network Security Services nss.x86_64 : Network Security Services nss-devel.i386 : Development libraries for Network Security Services nss-tools.x86_64 : Tools for the Network Security Services mod_nss.x86_64 : SSL/TLS module for the Apache HTTP server nss.i386 : Network Security Services But anyone know what package messing this up as from what i can see nothing there is being 'removed' in the kickstart - below is a full list of packages removed in the kickstart thanks for any tips tom # individual packages to remove -acpid -apmd -aspell -aspell-en -at -autofs -bc -beecrypt -binutils -bluez-bluefw -bluez-hcidump -bluez-libs -bluez-utils -cpio -crash -cryptsetup -cups -cups-libs -cyrus-sasl -cyrus-sasl-md5 -cyrus-sasl-plain -dhclient -dhcpv6_client -dmraid -dosfstools -dump -ed -eject -fbset -finger -ftp -gpm -hesiod -irda-utils -isdn4k-utils -lftp -lha -logwatch -lrzsz -mailcap -minicom -mtools -mtr -mt-st -nano -nc -netconfig -NetworkManager -ntsysv -pam_smb -parted -pax -pcmcia-cs -pinfo -quota -rdate -rdist -redhat-logos -rmt -rp-pppoe -rsh -sendmail -slang -stunnel -system-config-mouse -system-config-network-tui -system-config-securitylevel-tui -talk -tcsh -up2date -vconfig -wireless-tools -wvdial -xinetd -ypbind -yp-tools _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
