Can someone tell the what the concensous was on the best way to do the upgrade and avoid problems. From my notes I got:
yum upgrade python-sqlite yum upgrade sqllite yum upgrade yum yum clean all yum update
But at least one guy said his box was still hosed with duplicates and a broken bind after that.
What's the method to upgrade 4.3-> 4.4 with the highest change of sucess?
That procedure should be fine. The broken bind thing happens when people have the caching nameserver installed. I always delete it if the machine needs to run as a nameserver.
That is not true. The broken bind thing happens if you have bind installed. I have no caching-nameservers installed here and every one of them broke on upgrade. The fix is to simply make the keys in /etc/rned.key and /etc/rndc.conf the same. There is an upstream bug open on this and a fix will be available someday. :-(
Excellent, I do run bind, and I am familiar with the rndc key. So the procedure that should work properly for 4.3 to 4.4 update is:
yum upgrade python-sqlite yum upgrade sqllite yum upgrade yum yum clean all yum update massage bind rndc keys/files as required so keys match.
You, or anyone else kow of anything else I need to watch for?
Thanks guys, Scott
Besides fire and explosions! Sorry, that is for Dell laptops. ;-)
That is the recommended steps, but I would put the first three on one line like; yum update yum sqlite python-sqlite just in case of a dependency problem.
