> I had previously looked at /etc/issue, which says "release 5 (Final)".. As I'm sure you're aware from Johnny Hughes recent posting to this list, the contents of /etc/issue will stay that way for the entire life of CentOS 5. # rpm -q centos-release > centos-release-5-0.0.el5.centos.2 > centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1 > > hmm, that doesn't look right to me..? Nor me! I would be tempted to attempt to remove centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1 (rpm -e --test centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1; rpm -e centos-release-5.1.0.el5.centos.1if the test command was o.k.), then try a yum update. It does look as if your rpm dbase is a bit scrambled. Perhaps a rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.??? would be an idea. Alan. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
