Hi! I have a small problem with some packages : i was doing an update over ssh and my connection was interrupted .. now i have a lots of duplicates and if i try to remove them, yum tries to uninstall all system (447 packages 1.4 gb)!!
Any idea how can i clean this mess?
yum install yum-utils package-cleanup --dupes package-cleanup --cleandupes
yeap, i tried this (i was actually referring to this in original mail) .. and it tries do uninstall with all dependencies ..
i have done a list of duplicates with yum check | awk '/is a duplicate/ {print $6}' > /tmp/DUPES and i was planning to remove them with --nodeps --noscripts
what do you think? is this a solution that would avoid the dependencies uninstall and would clean up the packages?
would be pretty bad if the machine needs to be re-installed only because the connection went bad during the process...
a linux system never needs to be re-installed even not after a interrupted fedora dist-upgrade
i really hope so :)
what you should have learned by this is to use and install "screen"
lesson learn :( .. it is the same with backup: one get burned once then learn the lesson :)
Thanks!! Adrian
screen yum upgrade
after connectin was interruptd
ssh again to the machine screen -r
