That seems very sensible. One of my favorite workarounds when yum, dnf, or even possibly RPM changed too much between releases, and I still want to do the upgrade manually, is to mirror the entire repository locally, without the repodata/* files, and rebuild the repodata on the relevant local mirror. Then use "that". for the update. There was an occasion years ago when I had to use "rpm2cpio" to replace RPM components with the newer version, and if *that* wound up messed up as well there's an ancient script called "rpm2cpio.sh" described at https://www.redhat.com/archives/rpm-list/2003-June/msg00367.html .It's a useful tool for when RPM updates are completely botched, for whatever reason. Such reasons include someone doing python module updates that are inconflict with current releases. That script isn't something I recommend doing lightly, but it can be invaluable when RPM gets really mucked up, for any reason. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
