Why is this *&^@*&^$(&*^!!! update not behaving but crashing the box? I never see these problems on my x86 boxes??

I already tried rpm --rebuilddb

Anyone have an idea how to fix this or how to reverse the update?

Thanks a 1,000,000 :) _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

( this issue along with the 'existance of more than 1 instance of the same pkg name' has been discussed previously a few times, look through the recent archieves for the relevant .rpmmacros etc )

firstly, check what mirror you are using in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

• make sure that is responsivle ( and local to you - check

http://www.centos.org/mirrors for a list of mirrors )

Then remove all files from the /var/lib/rpm/ directory except the Packages file, and run

rpm -v --rebuilddb yum clean all yum update yum yum update kernel* audit* reboot yum -y update

Let us know how you get along.

It seems that the previous updates have made a complete mess of my system, about every package is there at least 3 times.

Will the above solve this problem too?

I'm hesitating a bit to complete the above steps in order not to increase the mess.

I tried it with samba packages (I had 5 packages of samba-common installed) removed the lot and reinstalled everything. Now samba seems to be clean but if I have to do this for tevery package (about 150!!) I'm better off re-installing the box....

Any advice greatly appreaciated

Remco

P.S. Sorry for top posting

I want to point out that in the release announcement, I discuss the possible (upstream) problem with doing upgrades on x86_64 machines ... and a way to perform the upgrade that minimizes the problem:

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2005-October/000784.html

(See the ISSUES: section which points to this bug:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1037

and that points to the upstream accounts of this issue.

I am not sure if your issue is this one, or something else.
