YUM UPDATE problem

[David McKenna]

I ran YUM UPDATE today and got the following:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

rpm-4.8.1-13.oc00.i386 has missing requires of curl

I was able to update coreutils and tar individually, but when I tried to update ash I got similar messages.

My yesterday update broke some things in exp repo...

I have updated ash package to provide a virtual /@unixroot/bin/sh package (it is no longer required, but older packages wants this).

Please try the following sequence for test purpouses:

Run 'yum update' again and report result: it is supposed to fail (at least did so here).

Then run 'yum clean metadata' and retry update (failed here too).

Then run 'yum clean all' and retry update: here this worked.

I ran YUM UPDATE, and ash updated with no problem! YUM CLEAN METADATA worked too. Then ran YUM UPDATE again and it said nothing needed to be updated. So the problem is solved?

[Yuri Dario]

Even better if it worked on first update!

I need to remove also that bash file...
