I recently installed an image of CentOS 5.4 on my machine.Through copious yum updates and one kernel update, I now find my /etc/issue says that I am at CentOS release 5.6 (Final).However, I need to be at 5.4, which is why I installed it in the first place. How do I first find out which updates are responsible and second revert the responsible updates?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu 10.10 and I have been keeping it updated via update manager.Last night the update manager popped up and I selected to update all required updates without checking what the updates were.While shutting down I noticed that I needed to reboot to complete the update, so I rebooted.After reboot the wireless network card disappeared. So I moved the PC and plugged in the ethernet cable. Oddly sometimes it shows disconnected for no reason and I have to reboot.What's even worst is that Ubuntu now locks up completely within 15 minutes of a reboot.None of the alt+sysrq commands do anything!How do I find out what the updates were and is there any way to I revert my system back to pre updates without having to reinstall?
View 6 Replies View RelatedA while back I had to install an extra yum rpm repository to my CentOS 5 server as I needed newer versions of httpd (v2.2. and php (v5.1.6) than were in the default repositories at the time.
I now wish to revert back to the standard repositories, I have removed reference to the custom repository from etc/yum.repos.d/ and used '# yum clean all' but cannot seem update these packages when I use '# yum update'.
Is there a way of making the rpm packages for httpd and php go back to using the standard repos, or will I have to manual update them from now on?
Or could I uninstall those rpms and reinstall from default repo without breaking the whole server?
I'm running CentOS 5.4 and noticed that for the past month there haven't been any new updates showing up either on 'yum check-update' or 'yum update' (I'm interested in basic and security updates). Although this may be right, I wonder if there is an online reference where I can check the updates that are released for CentOS (security bulletins) and make sure if there is anything wrong with my update system.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThere have been no updates recently (for almost two months) on any of my CentOS 5.5 boxes when I run 'yum check-update'.

Searching the web, mail lists and the forums have not resulted in finding anyone else with this problem. I did notice that glibc has a bug that is currently being worked on at Redhat but it is unclear if the font problem I am seeing is related. Note also, that the initial upgrade to Centos 5.6 was successful.

This is just a curious question. I am trying to setup a LVS system with three layers: (1) Virtual Servers, (2) Real Servers & (3) Storage Servers.
Real Servers (RS) & Storage Servers (SS) are on private network. My question is, how RS & SS look for latest updates from the Internet?
I know this is not as easy or simple as I talk this questions for a free distro. Is it possible, that the last update for the update repository is from 07. Jan. 2011? I know I can get the srpm from rh and compile it by myself.
Is it right --> in case of new releases and limited resources the updates for supportet releases are not highest priority and so we have to wait a little or compile it manually from rh source?
I have been trying all day but so far I am unable to configure yum to use a proxy server to retrieve updates.Due a recent compliance mandate direct internet access had to be removed for a pool of our Cent/RHEL servers. I have added the http_proxy environment variable in /etc/profile using:
export http_proxy=http://ourproxy:8080
export ftp_proxy=http://ourproxy:8080
export gopher_proxy=http://ourproxy:8080
I am using the FQDN of the proxy server, and i can ping that FQDN from the CLI without a problem. When I do this and I reboot the server I can get to the internet through the proxy using links/lynx. Yum however stalls out after loading plugins. I have read in a few places that I need a trailing / after the port number above, adding this and rebooting has no effect.
So I tried specifying the yum.conf file... [URL]. When I do this yum still tries to contact the redhat/cent network directly. No behavior change. If I use tcpdump I can see the server I am running yum on try to directly connect without the proxy, which times out for good reason.
The proxy server I am running is squid, but I can see the server I am running yum on blatantly ignore any proxy settings I have tried so far. I am really in a hole on this one as I have to get several updates to fix vulnerabilities found during our last scan.
I think my CentOS 5.2 servers are not receiving updates. The last update in my logs occurred on Feb 5th 2009;

There appears to be three rpms duplicated between the base repo and the updates repo:
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.14.2-6.el5.x86_64.rpm
gnome-python2-extras-2.14.2-6.el5.x86_64.rpm
gnome-python2-libegg-2.14.2-6.el5.x86_64.rpm
This causes a big problem for Spacewalk as the packages are non-unique among channels.
I'm assuming these should be in base but not updates?Can they be removed to address this issue?
The other day there were a number of updated needed on my server which I installed with yum (the software updater GUI). Now my websites are not coming up even on the server using http://localhost
I reviewed the info and found that httpd was updated to 2.2.3-45 and am suspecting that this is the cause of the issue. So my silly little question is how do I roll back this update?
