[Rdo-list] iproute yum update issues in RDO Grizzly
by Perry Myers
Just noticed this morning (thanks to jmartin to pointing it out)
We had two versions of iproute in:
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-grizzly/epel-6/
iproute-2.6.32-23.el6ost.netns.2.x86_64.rpm
iproute-2.6.32-23.el_6.netns.1.x86_64.rpm
The .2 package is newer, but unfortunately since el_6 is > el6ost in yum
dependency resolution, folks were getting error messages like:
"package iproute-2.6.32-23.el6_4.netns.1.x86_64 (which is newer than
iproute-2.6.32-23.el6ost.netns.2.x86_64) is already installed"
We have since removed the el_6 package from the repo, so going forward
there should be no problems.
However, if you have an existing system and need to update to the .2
iproute, you'll need to force remove the old one and install the new via
something like:
$ sudo rpm -e --nodeps iproute; yum install -y iproute
Sorry about the mixup
Cheers!
