I've inherited 2 machines running red hat 6.2. I have two choices right now. Bringing 6.2 up to date or installing redhat 7.1.
I haven't made a decision yet on which is the best path. Both machines are running named one as a master one as a slave. Will an upgrade to 7.1 involve any major changes to bind? I've installed 7.1 but never upgraded a Linux box. Is the upgrade staight forward? Will the installation recognize what is running and install the appropriate packages? When I run up2date on the 6.2 box I'm told I need to upgrade Python. When I run the Python upgrade I'm told to upgrade other dependencies. Does anyone have a list of dependencies that are necessary to bring 6.2 up to date? Do you have the necessary URI's to obtain the correct packages? Here's the output from my attempts at up2date [root@NS2 /root]# rpm -ivh rhn_register-2.8.27-1.6.2.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: rpm-python >= 4.0.2 is needed by rhn_register-2.8.27-1.6.2 python-xmlrpc >= 1.4.4 is needed by rhn_register-2.8.27-1.6.2 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 is needed by rhn_register-2.8.27-1.6.2 And this [root@NS2 /root]# rpm -ivh up2date-2.8.39-1.6.2.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: python >= 1.5.2-27 is needed by up2date-2.8.39-1.6.2 rpm-python is needed by up2date-2.8.39-1.6.2 rhn_register >= 2.7.9 is needed by up2date-2.8.39-1.6.2 python-xmlrpc >= 1.5.0 is needed by up2date-2.8.39-1.6.2 up2datepoptmodule.so is needed by up2date-2.8.39-1.6.2 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 is needed by up2date-2.8.39-1.6.2 I retrieved this python-1.5.2-27.6.x.i386.rpm Then I got this message [root@NS2 /root]# rpm -ivh python-1.5.2-27.6.x.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libcrypto.so.0 is needed by python-1.5.2-27.6.x libssl.so.0 is needed by python-1.5.2-27.6.x -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
