Difference in conflict resolving between yum and rpm installs
Hi Guys,
I am trying to test installation of a local rpm to my RHEL5 server. I am expecting it to fail as a previous version of the same package name exists. On using rpm -i this behaves as expected but yum install does not pick up the conflict. Here is the element of my SPEC file with the conflict logic -
Any ideas why yum install works? This is what our platform team use to deploy. I am expecting a failed dependency. Is it something to do with me trying to install the rpm locally? I have been going round in circles with this and just can't work out why they are behaving differently.
Thanks.
G.

I am setting up a new server with the goal of porting a solaris server to centos. I want to compile some packages myself (ie) http, ssl, mysql, etc. The reason for this is the downloadable rpm packages are very old. I probably want to make sure the kernel is up to date, but the individual pages... (2 Replies)

Hi,
I notice that CENTOS has a yum upgrade and update option. The man pages say that upgrade is the same as update with the obsolete option on. What is the obsolete option? I do not really understand the man page's description of it.

Hi Guys,
I have an issue whereby I package up an rpm and when I deploy it, the binary filesizes differ from what I packaged up from the SOURCE directory.

I came across a difference between Unix and Linux, when it comes to resolving the symbols from the libs.
consider the following code segments...

int a1;
extern int a3;
void prnt_a3()

yum-verify
yum-verify(1)yum-verify(1)NAME
yum verify plugin
SYNOPSIS
yum [options] verify [package ...]
DESCRIPTION
This plugin extends yum with some commands that give verification information on the installed system, much like rpm -V. You can change how
the verification is done and which files it applies to.
added yum commands are:
* verify
* verify-rpm
* verify-all
all of which take the same arguments as the list yum command, obviously you can only verify packages that are installed on the system.
verify Is the generic verification command, and is intended to give the most useful output. It removes all false matches due to multilib
and ignores changes to configuration files by default.
verify-rpm
Is meant to be 100% compatible with rpm -V output, and any differences should be considered as bugs.
verify-all
Is used to list all the differences, including some that rpm itself will ignore.
GENERAL OPTIONS
These are the options added to yum that are available in the verify commands. They are:
--verify-filenames
This option is used to limit the filenames that the packages will perform verification.
--verify-configuration-files
This option is only useful in the generic verify command, and will enable/disable verification of files that are tagged as configu-
ration files.
EXAMPLES
To do the same as rpm -Va, use:
yum verify-rpm
To verify the packages starting with the name yum, use:
yum verify 'yum*'
To verify the binaries that are in a bin directory, use:
yum verify --verify-filenames='*bin/*'
To verify all include files, Eg. for multilib problems, use:
yum verify-all --verify-filenames='/usr/include/*'
SEE ALSO
yum (8)
yum.conf (5)
the verify.conf file in /etc/yum/plugins.d

BUGS
Currently yum-verify does not do verify-script checking or dependency checking,
only file checking.
Should you find any other bugs, you should first
consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if unsuccessful
in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.
To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos
related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
