strangeness with rpm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
  [ Stats ]
    Hardware : i686 
    OS       : RedHat 7.3
    Rpm      : 4.0.4-7x.18

  We put our rpms on a dvd and there is a script that knows
  the order in which the rpms are to be installed.  Typically,
  we are installing 5 or 6 rpms.  We have had media failures,
  i.e., the dvd would be bad which would cause errors during
  the install.

  I have yet to get the logs back from the sites but I am
  told that all of the software was correctly installed
  but that when they query the rpm database, it does not
  indicate that the newer versions of the software have
  been installed.

  So here is my hair-brained question?  Is it possible
  for rpm to be tooling along with an install where
  it is updating the entries in the database or adding
  new entries for new software but has not committed
  that stuff yet.  It hits the problem and rolls back
  to updates and insertions but doesn't 'rollback' the
  software that it has so-far installed.

  Is that possible?
Regards,
Sandy Carney
