perl woes - perl-file-Temp conflict
by Rob Kampen 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hi all, everytime I play with perl I end up falling on my face. Yesterday, some new perl modules available from rf (my chosen repo for perl, perl is excluded from my CentOS-Base), however it did not like an already installed perl-File-Temp, so not recalling it was necessary for my mail system I removed it and allowed the updates. Then when I discovered my mail system no longer working (amavisd installed as per centos wiki) I tried to re-install - finally using --force - but now I have two Temp.pm files and the one I need is not found. Why is it that perl has this really messy structure and allows multiple files / methods of the same name, and thus tripping up the unsuspecting. Now I'm lost as to how to unwind and remove the necessary files from yesterdays update so I can reinstall perl-File-Temp? the error message :- Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man3/File::Temp.3pm.gz from install of perl-File-Temp-0.22-1.el5.rf.noarch conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1.i386 From this it appears that the base perl is in conflict, yet yesterdays updated perl files were Jul 26 23:34:17 Updated: perl-DBI-1.609-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:22 Updated: perl-Net-DNS-0.65-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:35 Updated: perl-HTML-Parser-3.61-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:37 Updated: perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.020-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:41 Updated: perl-Net-SSLeay-1.35-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:42 Installed: perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA-0.25-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:43 Updated: 1:perl-Convert-UUlib-1.12-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:45 Updated: perl-Digest-SHA1-2.12-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:35:05 Updated: perl-DBD-mysql-4.012-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:35:06 Installed: perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.020-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:35:09 Installed: perl-Digest-SHA-5.47-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:35:30 Installed: perl-IO-Compress-2.020-2.el5.rf.noarch Jul 26 23:35:32 Installed: perl-Mail-DKIM-0.36-1.el5.rf.noarch Jul 26 23:35:42 Updated: perl-Package-Constants-0.02-1.el5.rf.noarch Jul 26 23:35:43 Updated: perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.26-1.el5.rf.noarch Jul 26 23:36:52 Updated: perl-IO-Zlib-1.10-1.el5.rf.noarch Jul 26 23:39:05 Erased: perl-Compress-Zlib Jul 26 23:39:05 Erased: perl-IO-Compress-Base Jul 26 23:39:06 Erased: perl-IO-Compress-Zlib I tried to remove perl-IO* but it wants to remove most of my machine and I cannot allow that. So how do I rewind and get it straight? lost in the maze of perls

Tracking specific fixes into backports
by Andy Akins 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

I apologize if this is a simple noob question - I looked around and couldn't find an easy answer. My auditor presenting me with some findings re: httpd (apache) and said I have to upgrade to the newest version. They are basing their findings on the "version" of Apache installed - but are unaware of the fixlevel. Is there an easy way that I can take a specific Mitre or Securityfocus issue and see if the fix has been backported into the most up to date version of a Centos RPM. While this particular instance is in regards to Apache, I suspect I'll have to do this some more in the future with other RPMs as well. Thanks for any insight. -- Andy Akins Director of Development NICUSA, Tennessee A Partnership with Tennessee.gov Phone: (615) 313-0305 Email: andy(a)egovtn.org Visit www.tn.gov - the official website of the State of Tennessee ***************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any attachments are confidential.

Hi all, I've had to deal with a sudden surge of backscatter email lately. Would anyone be able to suggest to solutions that worked for them regarding this problem? We are using Scalix 11 as our email platform. It uses Sendmail MTA for those who may not be familiar. Thanks, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end.

potsfix keeping mail in queue on delivery error
by Robert Grasso 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hello, Our mail server is running CentOS 5.3. I configured postfix with maildrop as the MDA. I had to deal with a strange issue : a user sent an email to an alias, which resolves into several internal addresses. One of these addresses had its mbox filled up (reached the mailbox_size_limit); so maildrop reported a 0x19 error code to postfix, who kept the mail in its queue, and repeatedly resent the email : thus every member of the alias list received many copies of this email, except of course the one with the filled mbox. Is there a way to configure postfix so that it does not resend the email to the recipients who do not report any error ?

mdadm RAID sync speed limitation?
by Tim Nelson 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

While creating some arrays this evening, I noticed this line my dmesg: md: using maximum available idle IO bandwidth (but not more than 200000 KB/sec) for reconstruction. Why is there a 200MBps limitation on the mdadm sync speed? It certainly isn't a concern for my particular systems (15k U320 SCSI) but I can imagine there are much higher end systems that actually could sync at a rate equal to or higher than the limit. Is this limit arbitrary? Based on detected system specs? Limitation of mdadm itself? Just curious. --Tim

Help with Intel Driver
by Clint Dilks 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hi People I have a machine with a Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller lspci 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) The xorg.conf is configured to use the "intel' driver and I need to enable 3D Support with DRI. So my question is, Is this possible with the latest updates in CentOS 5 ? At first I believed that this would just involve enabling DRI so I added two sections to the xorg.conf Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "dri" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection Upon restarting X glx and dri appear to load but running the command glxinfo | grep rendering I still get direct rendering: No. Some initial research suggests that the "intel' driver may be 2D only? and that building a newer version of the driver from the Intel site is not a straight forward thing to do. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the functionality I need going? Or should I just look at replacing this card with something from Nvidia ? Thank you for any insite you can offer. To see xorg.conf and X log go to http://www.scms.waikato.ac.nz/~clintd/intel/ Sorry if this turns up as a duplicate, I didn't see the message come thorugh so resent
