So, at no time is the system without at least 1 copy of the package. The most common problem we've run into with yum is getting halfway through a transaction and power or network or something fails such that the second part, cleaning up the older packages, cannot occur. this is where yum-complete-transaction comes in. It will finish up the remaining steps since it has enumerated them.
Seth, Due to memory pressure and constraints on the XO, we regularly see some RPM %pre- and %post-scripts fail due to OOM. Is there anything which could reasonably be done to mitigate this problem for our yum-users? Thanks, Michael (Background: we believe that yum is used on our systems primarily by hackers and 'technically minded' G1G1 donors for customizing OLPC software releases; to date, general software updates have been made available through olpc-update, which is atomic, bandwidth-efficient, and which permits 'emergency rollback' to the previous (known-good) OS tree.) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
