I was recently told that sqlite is now in base in CentOS4, I was wondering why this is since "upstream" doesn't ship it.
[root@fooBox ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 8) [root@fooBox ~]# up2date --showall | grep -i sqlite [root@fooBox ~]#

My guess would be that RHEL4 doesn't have yum either, right? Guess what database backend yum uses?

I just did an rpm -q --whatrequires on sqlite and it reported that nothing depended on it.
In addition, an rpm -e sqlite removed the package without complaint.
One would think yum or something else in the chain would spit out a complaint...
(Note this is on an older CentOS 4.7 box)

I'm aware yum uses sqlite as a back end, but why exactly is yum offered in CentOS4 when its not a part of "upstream"?

Umm, because CentOS doesn't run a RHN type service that is compatible with RHN... and CentOS 4 came out long, long before RH released Spacewalk. yum has been a part of CentOS 4 since the very beginning.
And before you ask... there are some additional packages that yum depends on that aren't in RHEL. Other than that, it is pretty much stock... except for the addon repos offered that do have additional stuff not found in upstream.

yum has been in centos from the early days, as a workaround to the fact that we dont have rhn. :)

Try a "yum remove sqlite" and see what else it tries to remove. Perhaps the dep defs on the package aren't what they should be?

upstream also does not have yum

It's used by yum (via yum-metadata-parser )
