I ran into the same problem when I attempted to "yum update" my workstation last night. I worked around it using the old old "rpm dependency hell" technique of retrying the update but sequentially excluding each dependency as the various update attempts revealed them to me. I finally got a working update with: yum --exclude wxGTK --exclude nss-devel --exclude 'rpm-*' --exclude popt update; date wxGTK is excluded since I'm also running audacity 1.3.0b. The remaining excludes got me around the nss-devel problem. Got up this morning and re-ran my yum update with only wxGTK excluded and it worked just fine. Literally as I was typing this e-mail, the update for my laptop did the same thing (complaint about a missing nss-devel). My other systems all required changing /etc/yum.repos.d/Centos-Base.repo to use "baseurl" instead of "mirrorlist" before the update would even run. I made the same change on the laptop and the update is now progressing as expected. The laptop and my workstation are the only x86_64 installations. The remaining systems are all 32 bit. Since the problem still occurred on my laptop but went away when I switched to "baseurl", I wonder if one of the mirrors has a bad configuration. The results of this morning's update on my workstation are as follows: [root@bend video]# yum --exclude wxGTK update; date Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, protectbase Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * rpmforge: rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu * extras: ftp.lug.udel.edu * updates: ftp.linux.ncsu.edu * base: centos-distro.cavecreek.net * addons: centos.mirror.nac.net kbs-CentOS-Extras | 951 B 00:00 rpmforge | 1.1 kB 00:00 extras | 951 B 00:00 updates | 951 B 00:00 primary.xml.gz | 50 kB 00:00 updates 106/106 base | 1.1 kB 00:00 addons | 951 B 00:00 adobe-linux-i386 | 951 B 00:00 Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished 331 packages excluded due to repository protections Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package avahi-compat-libdns_sd.x86_64 0:0.6.16-1.el5_2.1 set to be updated ---> Package rpm-devel.x86_64 0:4.4.2.3-9.el5 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: nss-devel for package: rpm-devel ---> Package rpm-libs.x86_64 0:4.4.2.3-9.el5 set to be updated ---> Package kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 set to be installed ---> Package kernel-devel.x86_64 0:2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 set to be installed ---> Package kernel-headers.x86_64 0:2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 set to be updated ---> Package rpm-devel.i386 0:4.4.2.3-9.el5 set to be updated ---> Package rpm-libs.i386 0:4.4.2.3-9.el5 set to be updated ---> Package rpm.x86_64 0:4.4.2.3-9.el5 set to be updated ---> Package gdm.x86_64 1:2.16.0-47.el5.centos set to be updated ---> Package rpm-build.x86_64 0:4.4.2.3-9.el5 set to be updated ---> Package popt.i386 0:1.10.2.3-9.el5 set to be updated ---> Package rpm-python.x86_64 0:4.4.2.3-9.el5 set to be updated ---> Package popt.x86_64 0:1.10.2.3-9.el5 set to be updated --> Running transaction check ---> Package nss-devel.x86_64 0:3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: nspr-devel >= 4.6.99 for package: nss-devel --> Running transaction check ---> Package nspr-devel.x86_64 0:4.7.3-2.el5 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: kernel x86_64 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 updates 17 M kernel-devel x86_64 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 updates 5.1 M Updating: avahi-compat-libdns_sd x86_64 0.6.16-1.el5_2.1 updates 23 k gdm x86_64 1:2.16.0-47.el5.centos base 3.6 M kernel-headers x86_64 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 updates 948 k popt i386 1.10.2.3-9.el5 base 73 k popt x86_64 1.10.2.3-9.el5 base 75 k rpm x86_64 4.4.2.3-9.el5 base 1.2 M rpm-build x86_64 4.4.2.3-9.el5 base 303 k rpm-devel i386 4.4.2.3-9.el5 base 1.3 M rpm-devel x86_64 4.4.2.3-9.el5 base 1.3 M rpm-libs i386 4.4.2.3-9.el5 base 933 k rpm-libs x86_64 4.4.2.3-9.el5 base 927 k rpm-python x86_64 4.4.2.3-9.el5 base 60 k Installing for dependencies: nspr-devel x86_64 4.7.3-2.el5 base 115 k nss-devel x86_64 3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos updates 232 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 4 Package(s) Update 12 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 33 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: (1/16): avahi-compat-libdns_sd-0.6.16-1.el5_2.1.x86_64.r | 23 kB 00:00 (2/16): rpm-python-4.4.2.3-9.el5.x86_64.rpm | 60 kB 00:00 (3/16): popt-1.10.2.3-9.el5.i386.rpm | 73 kB 00:00 (4/16): popt-1.10.2.3-9.el5.x86_64.rpm | 75 kB 00:00 (5/16): nspr-devel-4.7.3-2.el5.x86_64.rpm | 115 kB 00:01 (6/16): nss-devel-3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm | 232 kB 00:01 (7/16): rpm-build-4.4.2.3-9.el5.x86_64.rpm | 303 kB 00:03 (8/16): rpm-libs-4.4.2.3-9.el5.x86_64.rpm | 927 kB 00:09 (9/16): rpm-libs-4.4.2.3-9.el5.i386.rpm | 933 kB 00:14 (10/16): kernel-headers-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.x86_64.rpm | 948 kB 00:14 (11/16): rpm-4.4.2.3-9.el5.x86_64.rpm | 1.2 MB 00:13 (12/16): rpm-devel-4.4.2.3-9.el5.i386.rpm | 1.3 MB 00:15 (13/16): rpm-devel-4.4.2.3-9.el5.x86_64.rpm | 1.3 MB 00:16 (14/16): gdm-2.16.0-47.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm | 3.6 MB 00:43 (15/16): kernel-devel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.x86_64.rpm | 5.1 MB 01:10 (16/16): kernel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.x86_64.rpm | 17 MB 03:51 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 76 kB/s | 33 MB 07:21 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction ...

I would interpret this as I got a different mirror this morning on the workstation and a bad mirror just minutes ago when I attempted to update the laptop. Changing to baseurl on the laptop got me a different mirror (or just blind luck that I didn't get the same mirror). Unfortunately, my first (bad) attempt to update the laptop has already scrolled off of the screen history. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

RPM dependency graphical viewer
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Greetings, Has anybody come across a graphical dependency viewer for the RPM / YUM based package managers? The reason is I am unable to update to Centos 5.3 due the fact that mine is an experimental system and I have had to use various repos in the past. now it is somewhat impractical for fresh install. I do not have a whole lot of H/W. I don't mind pruning the dependency manually if I get a view -- even if it is a pstree/tree like output. Also I am yet to make headways with OO3 and oh, my uname -a shows Linux custom.xxxxxxx.com 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:03:43 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux TIA Regards, Rajagopal PS. Please do not get offended if I reply late as I am in digest mode of reception from this list

Samba and iptables - woes
by Rob Kampen 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi folk, I am trying to get iptables working on a samba server but find it is blocking something that prevents the windoze clients from being able to access the share. here are the bits from iptables: > # nmb provided netbios-ns > -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 192.168.230.100/24 -i eth1 > --dport 137 -j ACCEPT > # nmb provided netbios-dgm > -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 192.168.230.100/24 -i eth1 > --dport 138 -j ACCEPT > # Samba > -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state -s 192.168.230.100/24 -i > eth1 --dport 135 --state NEW -j ACCEPT > # smb provided netbios-ssn > -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state -s 192.168.230.100/24 -i > eth1 --dport 139 --state NEW -j ACCEPT > # smb provided microsoft-ds > -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state -s 192.168.230.100/24 -i > eth1 --dport 445 --state NEW -j ACCEPT so as far as I can tell this should provide access to the required services. BTW the server has two NICs; 100Mb is eth0 at 192.168.230.230 and connects to the router with internet/NAT firewall; 1Gb is eth1 at 192.168.230.232 and this connects to a G ethernet switch that has the windoze clients. The smb.conf is as follows: [global] workgroup = NDG netbios name = SAMBA netbios aliases = Samba server string = Samba Server Version %v interfaces = lo, eth1, 192.168.230.232 bind interfaces only = Yes security = DOMAIN obey pam restrictions = Yes passdb backend = tdbsam pam password change = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 load printers = No add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd "%u" -n -g users delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel "%u" add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd "%g" delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel "%g" delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/userdel "%u" "%g" add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -n -c "Workstation (%u)" -M -d /nohome -s /bin/false "%u" logon path = domain logons = Yes os level = 32 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes ldap ssl = no create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 hosts allow = 127., 192.168.230., 192.168.231. case sensitive = Yes browseable = No available = No wide links = No dont descend = / [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No browseable = Yes available = Yes [NDG] comment = NDG files path = /NDG write list = @NDGstaff, @birdseye read only = No browseable = Yes available = Yes I found that making the rule for port 139 ignore the eth port (i.e. remove the -i eth1) allowed things to work better, but do not want this to be the case as I do not want the eth0 interface to be used for this traffic. looking at netstat -l -n shows only lo and eth1 listening on port 139, so how is this failing to work?? Any ideas? Thanks Rob
