I am trying to find out if it is possible to just upgrade specific RPMs
from Redhat 5.0 to my 4.2 machine, without having to do an upgrade, which
takes the machine down, longer then I would like to take it down for.
When I try, it will tell me there are dependancies.
And then when you try to add the dependencies, you get in a circle of what
needs what.
My favorite, was when I tried to install the new rpm for bash (because it
told me that /bin/sh was needed for another rpm.)
And it tells me this...hehe:
# rpm -Uvh bash-1.14.7-6.i386.rpm
failed dependencies:
/bin/sh is needed by bash-1.14.7-6
libc.so.6 is needed by bash-1.14.7-6
ld-linux.so.2 is needed by bash-1.14.7-6
/bin/sh is needed by bash-1.14.7-6
grep is needed by bash-1.14.7-6
fileutils is needed by bash-1.14.7-6
I think that I just have to break down, and take this server down for 15
min, so I can do an upgrade, but it gets messy, and I was hoping to just
update a few rpms, and at worst, have to just reboot the machine...
Any help would be appricated...
