URL for yum upgrade ydl-6.1 to ydl-6.2

[AmaiWana]

some magic happened to me and yum upgrade worked. I didnt know it would take so long donwload 300mt, but yum upgrade did change my 6.1 to 6.2, and i think this faster than last one.
Thx for jester for help

Hello
I used pup, you can see what's being updated, some of the updates need dependency updates that are in the same batch !!! so had to untick the things (gcc was one) that had deps that where too old, then run pup again, enabled the other repos and ran pup again.

[Jester]

yea... my yum is going crazy I think. I mean I tried all your ways paul, on base trying to do the upgrade but it never found anything to do. So i just re-enabled all of my other repos and now I have 1559 packages being excluded from repo protections...

Okay - tell you what. I have a sure-fire way to get your system to upgrade. But - you'll have to double check your setup because - if set up incorrectly - this could be dangerous.

• Disable these repositories by putting an enabled=0 in them:
  • ps3bodega
  • yellowdog-extras
  • yellowdog-updates
  • fedora-extras
• Verify that only yellowdog-base is enabled by doing a yum repolist
• Now, in yellowdog-base, remove any protect= entry. It should look like this:

  Code: Select all

  [base]
name=Yellow Dog Linux 6.2 Base
#baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/6.2/base/
mirrorlist=http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/resources/yd62-base-mlist
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY

• Do a yum clean all
• Do a yum upgrade

After you're done with the upgrade, you will have to put protect=1 back into yellowdog-base and yellowdog-updates.

Cheers,
Paul

Good times.

Hey all, I have followed the instructions to upgrade to 6.2 from 6.1. I keep getting errors about missing dependencies. I have fedora-extras, livna-stable, and dribble. Regardless of whether they are enabled or not, I get the following errors

Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package libdhcp
Error: Missing Dependency: libmpcdec.so.3 is needed by package vlc
Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package mkinitrd
Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package nash
Error: Missing Dependency: libmpcdec.so.3 is needed by package xine-lib
Error: Missing Dependency: libmpcdec.so.3 is needed by package mplayer


I know I can remove vlc, mplayer, and xine-lib, but I'm not sure about the other packages. I don't want to remove something and then not be able to undo it after the upgrade. If I only leave yellowdog-base enabled, I get

Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package mkinitrd
Error: Missing Dependency: libreadline.so.5()(64bit) is needed by package gdb
Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package libdhcp
Error: Missing Dependency: libgomp >= 4.1.2-44 is needed by package gcc
Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package nash


I tried searching the boards, and I can't seem to find a solution to this problem other than what I've already tried. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hey all, I have followed the instructions to upgrade to 6.2 from 6.1. I keep getting errors about missing dependencies. I have fedora-extras, livna-stable, and dribble. Regardless of whether they are enabled or not,

They definitely should not be enabled. Neither should yellowdog-extras or yellowdog-update. yellowdog-base should be the only repo enabled.

I get the following errors

Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package libdhcp
Error: Missing Dependency: libmpcdec.so.3 is needed by package vlc
Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package mkinitrd

Error: Missing Dependency: libmpcdec.so.3 is needed by package xine-lib
Error: Missing Dependency: libmpcdec.so.3 is needed by package mplayer


I know I can remove vlc, mplayer, and xine-lib, but I'm not sure about the other packages. I don't want to remove something and then not be able to undo it after the upgrade.

The vlc & xine-lib stuff is why we remove all those repos. There's too much dependency thrash if those are enabled.

If I only leave yellowdog-base enabled,

Now we're talking!

I get

Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package mkinitrd
Error: Missing Dependency: libreadline.so.5()(64bit) is needed by package gdb
Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package libdhcp
Error: Missing Dependency: libgomp >= 4.1.2-44 is needed by package gcc
Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package nash


I tried searching the boards, and I can't seem to find a solution to this problem other than what I've already tried. Any ideas or suggestions?

Normally, I'd tell you to just uninstall mkinitrd, gdb, gcc & nash and re-install them after you upgrade. But - the libdhcp bothers me. I have a feeling if you uninstall that, you might not get your networking started again.

So - you may have to manually install and/or upgrade libdhcp6client, libreadline, libgomp first, then try the upgrade.

Be very careful here - something looks weird about those dependencies. Did you try manually installing newer gcc, gdb, mkinitrd or nash packages at some point? Or use freshrpms instead of livna, etc.?

WAIT - HOLD THE PHONE.

Before you try my previous suggestions, post back the answer to these questions.

Are you running yum-protectbase? I might need to see your yellowdog-base.repo(s).

Are you getting messages about excluded packages? If you're upgrading, you shouldn't see any messages like that.

Cheers,
Paul

[donPedro]

Hey Paul, thanks for the reply. I never manually installed any of those, I only got stuff like VLC and some other packages from the the repos I had. Never added any other repos either.

If I disable everything except yellowdog-base, run yum clean all, then yum upgrade, I get the error message I described earlier, regardless of whether protect is set to 0 or 1 for that repo.

Code: Select all

Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package mkinitrd
Error: Missing Dependency: libreadline.so.5()(64bit) is needed by package gdb

Error: Missing Dependency: libgomp >= 4.1.2-44 is needed by package gcc
Error: Missing Dependency: libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 is needed by package nash


Here's my repo file

Code: Select all

#generated by system-config-ydlnet

name=Yellow Dog Linux 6.2 Base
#baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/6.2/base/

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY

I did get messages about excluding packages when the ydl repos were 6.1, but that's not been the case since they've been changed to 6.2. I just get the error messages I've described.

Thanks again,
Peter

Hello

Code: Select all

Error: Missing Dependency: libgomp >= 4.1.2-44 is needed by package gcc

here's where using pup was handy, you can't install new version of gcc because libgomp is too old so whole process fails, if you use pup (package updater) you can select which packages you want to install, so don't install gcc or any others that are causing problems run pup, then run it again

[donPedro]

Hmmm... it's strange. When I removed vlc, xine, and mplayer... yum still gave me three remaining errors I mentioned earlier. However, pup did not and I think it updated successfully. I rebooted, ran yum and it now says there are no packages for update. Not sure why yum and pup were producing different error messages when trying to upgrade to 6.2...

Anyways, got it working. Thanks for all the help!

[Jester]

It seems as if I am just going to have to download the ISO file from fixstars bc this is not working for me, I followed all your steps flawlessy Paul and it still had nothing to do. But then I went to fool around a little on mednafen and I realize that my blue tooth no longer works. Haha... awesome, I haven't followed steps to try and fix that yet, I'm not too worried about it though.

Steps to do:

I need to see all of your repos now.

more /etc/yum.repos.d/*

from a terminal window. Cut and paste the results here.

If you download the ISO from Fixstars, you will have to do a clean install. You most likely don't want to do this.

BTW - if bluetooth no longer works, that's a sign you might be running some 6.2 components.

Let's see what your kernel thinks it's running. From a terminal window, type:
uname -a
and post the results here.

Cheers,
Paul

Are there any other packages Jester could check to verify the 6.2 upgrade? I have a weird feeling Jester's upgraded to 6.2 already. (Maybe a partial installation?)

no protect=1 did you do what Paul suggested i.e disable all repos except yellowdog-base, remove protect=1 and run yum update or pup ?

If you haven't installed anything you should be fine, and don't forget to put protect=1 back in, if you did (draws breath through clenched teeth) well I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you
