(sorry to keep top posting... outlook sucks).

Johnny,

The approach we took was to use the yum plugin protectbase since we have our own internal repository.

I noticed when we protected the repository the plugin prints out "protected N RPMs" but does not print out what it protected (even with higher debugging). I thought it would be useful to have it print the package names/repos on protected RPMs.

So, I patched the protect base plugin to do that. I would like to submit the patch. Would that patch go to you or somewhere else?

BTW, thanks for your help on this.

Thanks, Steve

Johnny,

I applied the patch (by hand since it would not apply cleanly) to

4.3's

chkconfig and it appears to fix the issue I was having.

Generally, what are the next steps with this type of situation ? Does centos patch and release or wait for redhat to patch and release?

We will wait for RH to patch this issue. You can use the older chkconfig and ntsysv from my 4.2 link or patch yourself.

If we decide internally to patch chkconfig rpm ourselves what are the best practices to prevent over ride of a new chkconfig from you guys which may not have the patch applied?

The best way to prevent overwriting is to exempt the package from updates until it is fixed...but I suspect that the patch will be in any new version.

If you use yum for updates, edit /etc/yum.conf and add a line that says:

exclude=chkconfig ntsysv

OR if you use up2date, edit the file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date and change this line:

pkgSkipList=kernel*;

to this:

pkgSkipList=kernel*;chkconfig;ntsysv;

Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Hi,

OK ... I can confirm this problem ... turning off one of these turns

the other.

No idea why.

The older version of chkconfig and ntsysv (from 4.2) does not have

this

problem:

http://vault.centos.org/4.2/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/

I suspect that this is also caused by this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182729
