Re: [CentOS] Duplicated packages after yum crash

I had the the duuplicate rpms happen on a x86_64 install and rpm didn't crash to cause it. I basically listed all installed rpms and removed the older versions of the rpms that were dupilcated and did another yum update and all seems ok.

Hi,

I asked yum to update all packages on my CentOS 4.1 system and glibc was among them. Yum crashed in the middle and now I've some packages installed twice:

 2 zlib-1.2.1.2-1.2
 2 ncurses-5.4-13
 2 mysql-4.1.10a-2.RHEL4.1
 2 libstdc++-3.4.4-2
 2 libstdc++-3.4.3-22.1
 2 libselinux-1.19.1-7
 2 libgcc-3.4.4-2
 2 libgcc-3.4.3-22.1
 2 glibc-2.3.4-2.9
 2 glibc-2.3.4-2.13
 2 e2fsprogs-1.35-12.2.EL4
 2 device-mapper-1.01.04-1.0.RHEL4
 2 device-mapper-1.01.01-1.RHEL4

Running yum again it complains about a package conflict:

Finished Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man1/asn1parse.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.7a-43.4 conflicts with file from

package

openssl-0.9.7a-43.2

This system was beatiful now I've that, ugh :(

Any idea about how to fix that ? I'm afraid of touching glibc because this machine is on a datacenter 500Km away from here and it's pretty critical.

I'm trying to fix this mess. What I'm doing is using rpm -V to verify the packages that are duplicated. For example, the newer glibc package seems to verify just fine. And the old gives a lot of errors.

# rpm -V glibc-2.3.4-2.13 ........C /usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules.cache .......T. c /etc/rpc ........C /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache

# rpm -V glibc-2.3.4-2.9 .......T. c /etc/rpc S.5....T. /lib/i686/libc-2.3.4.so S.5....T. /lib/i686/libm-2.3.4.so

Can I assume yum installed the newer version and just wasn't able to remove the old entry somehow ?

I tried to remove the older apr package and it seems it worked... but glibc is.. special.

Thanks in advance,
