Hello all,
I'm stuck with a problem on REDHAT Enterprise (uname -r show: 2.4.21-57.ELsmp)
The only way to install package is using RPM, but since I'm a newbie I got a lot of dependencies warnings. I installed yum, but the problem now is that I'm not able to create a local repository to install package (the machine is not connected to internet).
I created all the yum related directories (/var/yum/5Server/Server) and pu the rpm into "Server". I also create e repodata directory.
Now I need to use createrepo app, but I'm not able to install it. I'm getting crazy since using RPM I received a lot of errors/dependencies warnings (see below).
Could someone advice on how install createrepo and on how update the outdated yum installation???

I would install a yum repository on a local server and drop all the rpm's there. And then do yum installs from that machine. Failing that if you need to solve dependencies in rpm just enter all the packages on the command line:
Sorry, but I'm getting crazy with dipendencies, I tried:
Code:
rpm -Uvh createrepo-0.9.6-3_10.el4.noarch.rpm yum-3.2.22-20.el5.noarch.rpm yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-3.fc15.i686.rpm glib2-2.12.3-4.el5_3.1.i386.rpm

May I need to add dependencies in a endless cycle!!!! Each app needed other files/dependencies/lib!!! AAARGH!
It appears you are installing RHEL5 packages to a RHEL4 system. This is not a good idea. You need to either upgrade from version 4 to version 5 or preferrably do a fresh install. If you still want to upgrade first bring your RHEL4 system up-to-date to the latest RHEL4 version from the RHN or an installation DVD.
See upgrading your system
Good luck!

O dear, only now I noticed you are on RHEL3 . In that case I think the only serious option is to do fresh install...
Try the RHN through your subscription. If there really is no other option to do a fresh install on a new system and move the application, then perhaps you can update to the latest version of RHEL3 first. Then upgrade to RHEL4 latest version. Then to RHEL5 latest version. but there is a considerable chance certain things will be broken. Make a good backup and/or an image backup first.
As Scrutinizer said, the best thing you can do is do a fresh install.
If you are hell bent on doing it the hard way, if you install the rpmdb-redhat rpm package before installing manually any additional packages that have lots of dependencies, you can use the --aid option of the rpm command to resolve dependencies automatically. See rpmdb-redhat

HI,
First I'll use yum check-update to check any updates.
Q1: How can I know that how much space needed to update all packages listed by yum check-update command?
Q2: How can I list kernel related packages?

Hi,
