Postfix dep for redhat-lsb rpm
by Chris Weisiger 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Is it possible to eliminate the postfix dep that is required to update to the latest redhat-lsb rpm when upgrading to 3.4 can i just download the source and remove the postfix dep and rebuild, and update the redhat-lsb rpm on my system. i dont think that the post fix dep was there when i updated to 3.3 from 3.1

The new CentOS3.4 version
by cweisiger＠i-55.com 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Im glancing through my email from the mailing list and noticed a lot of talk about centos3.4. When will it be released officially. I have read somewhere that RH is releasing RHEL 4 pretty soon....Im in no need to upgrade because my system is rather stable..just trying to get a idea of what is going on....I know i should be keeping up with the list...but it gets complicated at times. I know j. hughes is building a beta test of 3.4...Im just curious as to if if (cent3.4) is a quarterly update like going from 3.1 to 3.3 or is it a major release as will 3.4 be the same as RHEL4.

Change your default rpm query format on multi-lib archs (like x86_64)
by Johnny Hughes 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

All, I am now building rpms on, and using a multi-lib arch (x86_64) for the first time ... when using the standard command: rpm -qa | grep pkg_name The results might be pkg_name.i386 or pkg_name.x86_64 ... or both. But, the way it is shown by the default query format, looks the same ... like this: pkg_name pkg_name ---------------------------- example: [root@x86-64 ~]# rpm -qa | grep popt popt-1.9.1-21 popt-1.9.1-21 ---------------------------- To fix this problem on multi-lib machines (and change the default query format), you can change your .rpmmacros (or create a .rpmmacros) in your user home directory and add this line: %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch} --------------------------- Now the result of the above example is: [root@x86-64 ~]# rpm -qa | grep popt popt-1.9.1-21.x86_64 popt-1.9.1-21.i386 --------------------------- So now you can easily tell which arch of a program is installed on multi-lib machines. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

vim update for CentOS-3.3 x86_64 rebuild :(
by Tru Huynh 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Greatings, I am very sorry for having to misrebuild the vim update for x86_64 (CentOS-3.3): Wrong build host which was using a different libacl than the current CentOs-3.3... upon upgrading you might have got: ....Unable to satisfy dependencies Package vim-enhanced needs libacl.so.1(ACL_1.0)(64bit), this is not available. Package vim-minimal needs libacl.so.1(ACL_1.0)(64bit), this is not available. I have rebuild the new ones and replaced the wrong ones on the master mirror tonight Tue Jan 11 23:03:10 UTC 2005 ref: [RHSA-2005:010-01] Updated VIM packages fix security vulnerability https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-010.html ...centos-3/3.3/updates/x86_64/ RPMS/vim-common-6.3.046-0.30E.1.x86_64.rpm RPMS/vim-enhanced-6.3.046-0.30E.1.x86_64.rpm RPMS/vim-minimal-6.3.046-0.30E.1.x86_64.rpm RPMS/vim-X11-6.3.046-0.30E.1.x86_64.rpm SRPMS/vim-6.3.046-0.30E.1.src.rpm Best regards, Tru Huynh (deeply confused)

Open/Closed Ports
by Wayne Bastow 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hi, Just installed CentOS 3.3. I said to allow only http and ssh when I did the install. I can ssh to the machine and until I compiled apache 2 and installed it seperately I could connect to the default web server. I am running oracle on the box and have found that I can't connect remotely to oracle from another linux box (sql*net works fine on the CentOS box itself). I think it is because the port (oracle is on 1521) is blocked. Can anyone give me an idea of where to start? I've looked at hosts.deny/allow and they both contain no entries and I can't find anything in /etc that seems to be involved in the problem. Thanks, Wayne

Ok to update to 3.4
by cweisiger＠i-55.com 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

i get very little updates from yum, so i was wondering if it is ok to go ahead and update to 3.4, being im running 3.3.. i run a minimal system...minus a few packages removed after install. just didnt know about any possible security issues that would come down for 3.3 if i have updated to 3.4..how would or would i even need them....or will the upcoming security, bugs, etc.. be strictly for 3.4?...what im trying to say is would i miss any updates if i updated to 3.4, that are meant for 3.3?

an RPM conundrum
by Barry L. Kline 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

I have an interesting chicken-and-egg problem that I hope someone can help me out of. I have a machine on which I originally loaded White Box. I subsequenty converted to CentOS using the instructions found numerous times in the group -- e.g. get the redhat-package RPM (thus changing /etc/redhat-release), then configuring yum and then yum -y upgrade. Everything has been going fine... that is until I tried installing the rpm-build package. Now I'm getting the message: [root@intranet root]# yum install rpm-build Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3.3 - Addons Server: CentOS-3.3 - Base Server: CentOS-3.3 - Extras Server: CentOS-3.3 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies ....Unable to satisfy dependencies Package rpm-build needs rpm = 4.2.3-10, this is not available. Which I assume is caused by my version of rpm: rpm-4.2.3-10.WB1 I can't seem to figure out how to convert RPM packages and, of course, I can't simly rpm -e rpm and then use the erased package to install itself. I've tried a simple yum --download-only ... but the dependency check still occurs. Any thoughts on what to try next? TIA, Barry

problem building the isos?
by security 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hello all, I am making my own distribution based on RHEL AS 3U4 (with additional rpms, like urpmi, webmin, nessus, Maildir format by default for Postfix, courier-IMAP etc.) and I would like to have information from the CentOS team. I am generating the isos of this distribution but during the launching of anaconda, the graphic interface failed to work, so the installation in text mode is the only one possible. I think i find the problem: pam. by using pam-0.75-51, all is ok (graphical install of anaconda) but with more recent versions, anaconda refuses to launch the graphical install. Question: had somebody similar problems?? Thank you in advance and good year to all :) -- jean-sébastien Hubert Service Informatique Air-Austral 0262 93 10 34 interne: 182 http://www.air-austral.com
