Hi, Sorry, it is my mistake. I just use my test RPM that printout preun, postun, pre and postinst sequence and --replacepkgs --oldpackage is working correctly. About yum, I looked at other part of the report, so I made a wrong conclusion. So I guessed that I can also use yum downgrade to get the same effect right? yum downgrade condor ================================================================================ Installing: condor i386 7.4.2-1 condor-stable 158 M Removing: condor i386 7.5.1-1 installed 366 M Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 1 Package(s) [..] Removed: condor.i386 0:7.5.1-1 Installed: condor.i386 0:7.4.2-1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- yum --version 3.2.22 Installed: rpm-4.4.2.3-18.el5.i386 at 2010-02-24 19:17 Built : [] at 2009-09-04 00:26 Committed: Panu Matilainen <pmatilai@xxxxxxxxxx> at 2009-07-24 22:00 Installed: yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos.noarch at 2010-02-24 20:04 Built : [] at 2009-08-20 13:55 Committed: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh@xxxxxxxxxx> at 2009-08-19 22:00 Installed: yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-3.el5.centos.i386 at 2010-02-24 20:04 Built : [] at 2009-08-27 16:20 Committed: James Antill <james.antill@xxxxxxxxxx> at 2009-04-06 22:00 On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 10:56 PM, James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, 2010-04-15 at 22:32 -0500, Thawan Kooburat wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade a package in a >> similar manner as upgrading a package >> >> I tried this option >> >> rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --oldpackage foo-old.rpm >> >> but it seems like it go through this sequence >> >> remove foo-new.rpm >> install foo-old.rpm >> >> instead of installing old version and then remove the new version >> which is a normal "update" sequence >> >> I also notice that yum downgrade also execute remove first then >> install the old version. > > What version of rpm is this?
