At some point my CentOS mirror was rewritten such that the 3.3/os directory vanished, which broke upgrades/updates completely. By commenting out the [base] section in a yum.conf file I could get updates back, but still no easy upgrade path. By following the instructions in the article mentioned I could upgrade to 3.4, but no magic upgrade path has happened yet.

Error when updating centos-3.3 to 3.4
by Bart Schaefer 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

The following error appeared and I'm wondering if it's important enough to file a bug report: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.8817: line 2: gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders: command not found error: %postun(librsvg2-2.2.3-2) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 Also /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn-applet.rpmnew got created; the difference is that the uuid has changed from a hex key to "UNSPECIFIED". I don't recall where that hex key came from -- was it in a previous CentOS release, or could it have come from an RHN signup at some other time?

CentOS Release Lifeline
by Fred Whipple 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

Hi all, The usual apologies if this has been answered; I didn't see the answer anywhere on the site or googleing the archives... Since CentOS is a RHEL rebuild (and this is brilliant!), does that imply that CentOS will continue to provide security patches and bug fixes so long as Red Hat continues to release them for a given version of RHEL? That's to say that Red Hat commits to 5 years of updates for any given version of RHEL. Will CentOS benefit for those same 5 years? I ask because Scientific Linux commits (or, plans) to support 3 years after a release. Thanks in advance! -Fred

.c0 RPM's
by randy hoffman 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

Probably missing something obvious here, but what determines when an RPM is built with a .c0 extension vs. not? Seems to be mostly on kernel RPM's. Thanks!
