Problems with yum/rpm and %pre scriptlet error 255
by James B. Byrne 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

I am running xen (2.6.16-xen3_86.1_rhel4.1) on top of a stock CentOS-4.4 installation. I have not added any additional virtual machines however. When trying to install (as root) acrobat reader 7 for Linux from the adobe rpm (AdobeReader_enu.i386 7.0.8-1) I get the following errors: error: %pre(AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1 This occurs whether I use yum or rpm directly to effect installation and whether or not setenforce is 0 or 1 for SELinux. I have looked for similar errors on google but none of the remedies that I have found there seem to work (turning selinux off, using rpm --replacepackages --replacefiles options). Does anyone here have any ideas that they care to share regarding what is likely the problem or how to fix it? Sincerely, -- James B.

noarch concerns? dangers?
by R Lists06 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Please share some wisdom from the list... :-) Realistically there is some type of difference between an rpm made for an arch (like i386 or x86_64 etc) vrs an rpm with noarch I was just looking at and downloaded these two from dag perl-Archive-Tar-1.30-1.el4.rf.noarch.rpm perl-IO-Zlib-1.04-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm they are the latest and are not assigned to an architecture there are older rpms of the same that are assigned an arch like i386 what concerns should I be aware of if any when considering installing these? Or should I just choose an older one with i386 etc architecture in mind? Unit to install on is production internet mail and web server etc Thanks and kind regards! - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

Just out of curiosity what sort of backup speeds do you get to a single LTO3 drive?. I seem to struggle to get anything above 60-70MB/s. Dean.

best repo for perl-IO-Zlib perl-Archive-Tar
by R Lists06 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

With all due respect to the various people, their hard work and associated repos, where is the best place to do a yum install for these two packages below in regards to an internet facing production Centos 4.4 server perl-IO-Zlib perl-Archive-Tar I noticed dag and karan repos appear to have it and my experience and research tells me that using CPAN is not an option for possible problems at times (no disrespect intended) background: spamassassin and sa-update sa-update complains about Can't locate Archive/Tar.pm in @INC etc etc blah research showed that it *appears* they are in fedora core "core" yet evidentally not in the upstream "core"??? thanks and kind regards, - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

Openssh and CentOS
by Denis Machard 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

I would like to know why the version of openssh used in Centos4.4 is based on version 3.9p1 but not on a more recent version of openssh? The vulnerabilities found and corrected in the last version of openssh are also corrected in version 3.9?

S.r.l. Amedeo, Don't worry about your English, it's way better than my Italian! :) There are several reasons to get a code 23 error with rsync. One of them being disappearing files. You might have temp files that get into the rsync filelist before rsync transfers files. Once rsync starts transferring the files, and if any of those files are now gone from the filesystem, rsync will generate the code 23 error. Do you log the output from rsync?? That could give you more information as to the exact problem. HTH Thanks! Mark Schoonover IS Manager American Geotechnical V: 858-450-4040 - F: 714-685-3909 - C: 858-472-3816 "Stop the Earth!!

Moving them rather than deleting them allows you to recover settings that you might want to keep Craig
