yum Update

Hello guys.

I already install my cent0s 4.4 with no problem and also my ISPConfig on my system. Nowadays, I want to update some features but I got this errors;

I only use yum update, how can I resolve this? Any help is appreciated.

 

Please run

Code:

yum install cracklib-dicts pam httpd openssh

and try again.

 

I installed that but this is what happened;

Code:

[root@HUBPORT ~]# yum install cracklib-dicts pam httpd openssh

How can I suppose to to install those repositories or missing dependencies on my server. I used yum but no effect. Also my ISPConfig got this problem;

How can I connect them back? I restarted them but the same result appear.

 

You can try to download the packages manually from a CentOS mirror and install them with rpm -ivh.

 

what if my packages are in my cd (.iso)? Can I install it back using an rpm? is it also need a new repositories? i am using CentOS 4.4 as my linux server, can I have the mirror site so that i can install it using rpm.

thanks for your help falko.

 

You can also install the rpm packages from your CD with rpm -ivh.

 

when i try to use rpm -ivh, i've got this message;

rpm: no packages given for install

I already mount my .iso part 1 into my linux but nothing happened. Please kindly heeeelp me., Falko.

 

Hi,
the rpm command requires the package you wish to install. For example
rpm -Uvh "packagename.rpm"
do not include the quotes.

you can find all your missing dependancies and download them and rpm each one then try the yum update. For example you can find the

Error: Missing Dependency: cracklib-dicts@i386 = 2.7-29 is needed by package cracklib

at

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=cracklib

Downaload it and

rpm -Uvh cracklib-2.8.2-1.i386.rpm

do that for each missing dependancy and then your yum

Hope this helps!

Good luck,
Chris

 

hello ipfreely,

i will also try your suggestion on my missing packages using rpm -ivh "package.rpm"

I hope it will help me a lot.

Thanks

 

Waa. T_T..

The same error was occured. I did not get why is it, I always got those errors. I dont know now how to solve it. its been 3 weeks and the same errors appear.

I.m down now.

Have you changed the settings for the standard repositorys or added some other repositorys?

Have a look at /etc/yum.repos.d/

Simple when you know how

I've been having the same problem with a number of our systems. I did try substituting the new ISOs to upgrade to 4.5 (see http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/mrepo_configuration.html ) but somehow it didn't find the new initscripts rpm. Anyway, just install the newer initscripts manually:

rpm -ivF initscripts-7.93.29.EL-1.centos4.i386.rpm

You can then run yum without problems. This hasn't picked up the actual 4.5 base files, don't see how to do that, but at least the 4.4 is now updating again....
