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. In /bin there is only one file: bash. So the problem is solved?

[Yuri Dario]

Even better if it worked on first update!

I need to remove also that bash file...
