Hello,
Just did yum update. There were numerous packages to be
updated. I
get this is the newest release of Centos.
The update bombed stating I need nss-3.12.2.0-2.el5. I did
a rpm -q
nss and nss-3.12.2.0-4.el5 is install in Cento 5.2.
What's up with that?
TIA
You didn't wait for the official release announcement ;)
Good one!! :-)
Wasn't trying to upgrade to the newest release. I run a 'yum update' daily. I only have Centos repos installed so I don't know how I have a version of nss newer in 5.2 than 5.3.
As someone suggested in a later reply, I'll wait a day or two and try again.
Thanks
Lots of noise on the list today. I ran into the same problem when I attempted to "yum update" my workstation last night. I worked around it using the old old "rpm dependency hell" technique of retrying the update but sequentially excluding each dependency as the various update attempts revealed them to me. I finally got a working update with:
yum --exclude wxGTK --exclude nss-devel --exclude 'rpm-*' --exclude popt update; date
wxGTK is excluded since I'm also running audacity 1.3.0b. The remaining excludes got me around the nss-devel problem. Got up this morning and re-ran my yum update with only wxGTK excluded and it worked just fine. Literally as I was typing this e-mail, the update for my laptop did the same thing (complaint about a missing nss-devel). My other systems all required changing /etc/yum.repos.d/Centos-Base.repo to use "baseurl" instead of "mirrorlist" before the update would even run. I made the same change on the laptop and the update is now progressing as expected.
The laptop and my workstation are the only x86_64 installations. The remaining systems are all 32 bit. Since the problem still occurred on my laptop but went away when I switched to "baseurl", I wonder if one of the mirrors has a bad configuration. The results of this morning's update on my workstation are as follows:

This is with *no* changes to /etc/yum.repos.d/Centos-Base on the workstation but includes an update to nss-devel. I would interpret this as I got a different mirror this morning on the workstation and a bad mirror just minutes ago when I attempted to update the laptop. Changing to baseurl on the laptop got me a different mirror (or just blind luck that I didn't get the same mirror). Unfortunately, my first (bad) attempt to update the laptop has already scrolled off of the screen history.
Cheers, Dave
OK, here's a new one.
Changed all references in repo file to baseurl from mirror, ran yum clean all.
Now I get:
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve: Package pyzor needs python-abi = 2.3, this is not available.
Of course, I ran yum install python-abi with no luck.
Something is broken.

The python in 5.3 is 2.4
pyzor is not in CentOS or EPEL. Either the repo you got it from needs to update for python 2.4 or you need to try to get ahold of the source rpm, remove the package, yum update, and then rebuild the src.rpm against python 2.4
rpm -e pyzor
should remove it.

Thanks, I think that did it. I also have to remove some perl modules mailscanner installed that caused conflicts.
Guess I'll know by morning.
Thanks!!

Please don't do that. If you want to hardcode the mirror then look for a mirror that you "like" and use that one, but not the central CentOS distribution base.
