Fedora :: How To Exclude Package From Software Update?
Jan 21, 2010
On my Fedora 11 x86_64 computer I have installed OOo 3.1.1 from www.openoffice.org because I need features that Fedora disabled in the repository version.And the latter also shows up in Software Update. Now, I went around and around with this and I know that installing the 1.3.1.1 package will break my OOo. I don't want Software Update even to list the 1.3.1.1 package because sooner or later I will slip up and install it on accident.
Side note: Why does Software Update think 1.3.1.1 is newer than 1.5.1? If it really is newer, someone at OOo needs to learn arithmetic.I think I can add an exclude line to /etc/yum.conf. But I can't figure out the syntax, and I don't know which package to exclude - the one I don't want updated or the alleged update package? Both? Or just the first part "openoffice.org-ure"?

The update manager always tells me to update my firefox (all plugins included - never works as it should be). I decided to install it directly form moz. This works - I think it's my hardware. How can i get rid of the "update manager" to include firefox.

My question is: How to skip the installation of a package when using yum update from the command line? i.e., How would one update a system from command line and skip/not update kernel?

Now, every time I do yum update my system will also offer me package for F12, F13, F14. But if I try to install it, it will not resolve because I my system is still F11. I don't remember exactly what the error message is, but I think it said that I should have system > 13 to install that packages. What should I do so next time I do yum update I just offered packages I needed only?

I am a Debian User, now I have decided to install Fedora 14 x86_64 on my Acer Aspire computer, mainly to develop C++/Java software. Due to this, I have installed a lot of development packages. Shortly after installation, I have encountered problems updating some packages.
Below 'yum update' output:

What's the best way to permanently disable the package kit update applet in fedora 12. i really dislike my bandwidth being robbed unnecessarily from the other computers running fedora on the network.
System->Preferences->System->Software Updates is not working as it is supposed to.
What is the role of PackageKit? Do i really need it?

my update today failed, because the packages raydium and maniadrive depend on libphp5-5.2.9.so, which is provided by php-embedded, which is (apparently) not in the fedora 64bit repository There does however seem to be an i586 version...

the sendmail packages on my f15 server were updated from 8.14.4-20 to 8.14.5-1 yesterday. since then, every attempt to send mail via a smart relay have failed with :
Jun 25 14:05:10 server sendmail[23512]: p5PD59jr023512: from=root, size=208, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<201106251305.p5PD59jr023512@server.{fromdom ain}>, relay=root@localhost
Jun 25 14:05:10 server sendmail[23513]: p5PD5A8l023513: from=<root@server.{fromdomain}>, size=480,
[code]....
i've tried using various different smtp relays and they all now throw the same error. without going through all my sendmail config, i have the following entries in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc :
define(`SMART_HOST', `{smtp server}')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo', `hash /etc/mail/authinfo')dnl
and the /etc/mail/authinfo file contains :
AuthInfo:{incoming mail server} "U:{user}" "P:{password}"

I need to get the libstdc++.so.5 library ( on a computer with Fedora 8 and don't wonder why it's so ancient,-there is a good reason for it) but I don't have Internet access from that computer, so I can't get to the online repo's.
However, I do still have the installation disk, and I'm typing this from a computer (SuSE 10) that is half a meter from the Fedora box.
I tried the "ADD/REMOVE Software" option on the menu, but it keeps on looking for the online repo and then if it doesn't get it, it fails.
Is it possible to get this library from the installation disk. How? Could I download the single package from the online repo onto the SuSE machine and then move it to the Fedora machine? How do I then tell the Fedora machine to "incorporate" it.

I am using livecd-creator with the fedora-livecd-desktop.ks file to create livecd/usb images. The image that is created includes several languages (some are listed below). How can I only include one or two specific languages? Will I have to specify to remove each language group? If so, what is the syntax for yum?

I have a fedora 11 with kernel package: kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i686
I would like to install the devel package for this kernel version, but I can't find it, because in the fedora repo there is only the original kernel (2.6.29.4....) and in the updates repo there is only the newest kernel package (2.6.30....)
Where can I find the packages which are between the fedora and update repos' versions?

I had to uninstall f10 from my system because it would lock up my system anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes into using it and noone could tell me why.
NOW, I put 9 back on my system and after it updates everything, it locks up again. it does give me the option of the new kernel and the original install's kernel and if I choose the original to boot with, I don't have any problems.
SO, is there any way to fix it, OR to exclude the kernel and initrd from being updated?

If you need to to exclude one or mode user from your gdm login window you must edit "/etc/gdm/gdm.schemas" and add the user you want exclude from the <key> "greeter/Exclude" (near the other user in <default></default>)
When Fedora could have a gdm config again?
