i've seen up2date doing some conflicting actions for an 'upgraded' system (ie RHL 7.2 upgraded to 8.0). up2date sometimes still think that the system it is handling is still 7.2 when it was already upgraded to RHL 8.0.
i'm not pretty sure what u mean of the 'obsoletes list' - but up2date should get the latest updates-not the old ones. -----Original Message----- From: marc dobler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 3:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: HOWTO: RH Update wizard Hi Roderick ! > by default, up2date downloads the updates into /var/spool/up2date and > deletes them (unless u told it not to) after it installed the updates. ok, i understand this. in my case, i checked that it keeps the latest package installed. > if u want to update a certain package, why not do it one at a time? say i'd > update php, i'd run as root: > > up2date php > > that way, u can choose which part of your sytem can be updated. but in the case there are obsolete packages remaining in the default-list of the wizard, what shall i do ? these obsolete packages correspond to older versions of programs (ex. kde-base and koffice). i mean, that the wizard suggests something which is erroneous. how to tell this to the wizard ?
