Is there a way to update a package to a specific version with yum?
So, I have version 1 of package A installed. Versions 2 and 3 are available, but I only want to upgrade to version 2. Any assistance would be appreciated.

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.
Thanks (0 Replies)
Hi,
I would like to know the difference between YUM UPDATE and YUM UPGRADE. The man pages say upgrade is same as update with the obsolete option. And by default it says the obsolete option is turned on, which would make them equivalent. Does not say what obsolete does.
Can someone please... (3 Replies)

Hi,
I have an expect script which connects to whatever Ip is passed to it. It performs a variety of tasks, all of which it completes fine except for the yum updates. For some reason it sends commands early, during the yum update. Any ideas?
Thanks. (2 Replies)

yum-versionlock.conf
YUM-VERSIONLOCK.CONF(5) File Formats YUM-VERSIONLOCK.CONF(5)NAME yum-versionlock.conf(5)SYNOPSIS yum-versionlock.conf(5) is the configuration file for yum-versionlock(1) Yum plugin for excluding packages that aren't listed in the ver-
sionlock file. The plugin will walk each line of the versionlock file, parse out the name and version of the package. It will then exclude
any package by that name that doesn't match one of the versions listed within the file (or, optionally, any obsoleter of that package).
This is basically the same as doing an exclude for the package name itself (as you cannot exclude installed packages), but yum will still
see the versions you have installed/versionlocked as available so that "yum reinstall" will still work, etc. It can also work in the oppo-
site way, like a fast exclude, by prefixing a '!' character to the version.
FILES
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.conf
FILE FORMAT yum-versionlock.conf(5) utilizes configuration options in the form of
OPTION=VALUE
OPTION
follow_obsoletes
This option is a boolean flag which specifies if the versionlock plugin should look at all the obsoletes, and see if any of the
packages specified have an obsoleter. If an obsoleter is found then all versions of that package will be excluded. This option is
off by default, as yum-versionlock(1) will take some time to do the obsoletes processing, and for non-rename obsoletes any issues
you had which kept you at a specific version of a package should be different with another package.
OPTION
locklist
This option is a string with points to the file which will have the versionlock information in it. Note that the file has to exist
(or the versionlock plugin will make yum exit). However it can be empty.
