Hi,
I have just updated my system from Centos 4 to 5 using the DVD. When I try to update using Yum, it gets so far then I get:
"Public key for tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-5.5.23-0jpp.3.0.2.el5.i386.rpm is not installed"
How do I get the key and install it?
To reply to my own post, the answer was obvious when I thought about it. It was looking for the GPG key downloaded and imported it and Bob's your uncle. Slightly puzzled that yum didn't automatically do it as per the documents though.
Maybe the CentOS-Base.repo file in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ is the one for CentOS-4 and not CentOS-5.
The only difference between the CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 repo files is the key ... we have different keys for CentOS-4 and CentOS-5.
By default, there are many CONFIG files that are not replaced if they have been updated when you do normal upgrades. In most cases, you will instead get a file that is a replacement called <config-file-name>.rpmnew
On an upgrade from CentOS-4 to CentOS-5, you will have MANY files named .rpmnew that you will need to look at and you will need to modify the appropriate config files that are currently in place (and designed for CentOS-4) to work with CentOS-5.
Johnny, Thanks for the pointer, I did have a CentOS-Base.repo.rmpnew file.
I am still unsure what is happening with yum. I am getting this now:
Loading "protectbase" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/plugins.py:380: DeprecationWarning: registerOpt() will go away in a future version of Yum. Please manipulate config.YumConf and config.RepoConf directly. DeprecationWarning)
Unfortunately, the documenation on the web site for yum does not cover Centos5.
You may not have the latest version of yum or some of the plugins ....
Please do this command (all one line):
rpm -q yum python yum-metadata-parser yum-utils yum-protectbase yum-plugin-protectbase
The results should be this for the latest versions:
yum-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.2 python-2.4.3-19.el5 yum-metadata-parser-1.0-8.fc6 yum-utils-1.0.4-2.el5.centos yum-protectbase-1.0.4-2.el5.centos package yum-plugin-protectbase is not installed
If you have yum-plugin-protectbase (and not yum-protectbase) installed, you need to replace yum-plugin-protectbase ... that is the old version from CentOs-4.
Also you need to review the plugins directories if you had any plugins installed in CentOS-4 (/etc/yum and /etc/yum/pluginconf.d) to make sure there are not any <file_name>.conf.rpmnew files.
You currently have installonlyn and protectbase enabled ... I would recommend that you properly configure your CentOS-Base.repo to use yum-priorities instead of yum-protectbase.
Also, if you are using the CentOS-Base.repo file and if you are using the "mirrorlist" option instead of some specific "baseurl" mirrors, then I would also recommend the yum-fastestmirror plugin.
Please see this link for plugin install and configuration:
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum
BTW, upgrades are not normally clean. I personally recommend that people never upgrade, but instead backup their data and do a fresh install, then move data over. The upstream provider also recommends this:
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/ch-upgrade-x86.ht...
Read specifically the first four paragraphs under the title:
"23.1. Determining Whether to Upgrade or Re-Install"
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
Johnny, one again many thanks. You were right I had yum-plugin-protectbase rather than yum-protectbase. I had removed fastestmirror as it caused Yum to crash when I first ran it.I have reinstalled it and it looks like all is well now.
I decided to upgrade rather than reinstall as this is a desktop system and I do have the data backed up so I could always do a clean install if the upgrade failed.
I have done a search for *.rpmnew and there are surprisingly few - working my way through them now.
Again Many Thanks
Rob
