General :: Downgrade And Remove Rpms In The Same Command?
Mar 22, 2011
I have a problem where in order to satisfy RPM dependencies, I need to remove packages and downgrade them in the same command. Imagine the following situation Before
A v2.0 depends on B,C
B v2.0 depends on C > 1.0
C v1.1
After
A v1.0 depends on C
C v 1.0
If I issue a
$ rpm -Uvh --oldpackage Av1.0.rpm Cv1.0.rpm
it will fail with "B depends on C > 1.0" If I issue a
$ rpm -e B
it will fail with "A requires B" so I appear to be in a catch-22. The obvious solution is to use a "--nodeps" and remove B before doing the downgrade, but I am creating these commands programmatically so I was hoping to use dependency resolution as a sanity check against an incorrect script. Is there any way to perform this downgrade without breaking the RPM dependency sanity checks by force?
Is there a command to know " From where a specific RPM package was downloaded & installed ( The full HTTP/FTP path ) " ? For example, if I had previously installed Firefox from here [URL] is there a specific rpm query, or any other place, from where I can get the full ftp path back.
I am reading the output of /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0/temperature in a program to read my CPU temp. I am using cat like the following:
Code: #cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0/temperature temperature: 49 C
I basically want to get rid of the spaces in between temperature and the actual temperature. Is there a command I can pipe the cat output to, to remove the spaces. I have seen suggestions for sed, or tr, but for some reason I cannot get them to work properly.
i want to remove words "Max" and "constrained" in a file given below:
Max 0.003745 constrained Max 0.004549 constrained Max 0.001689 constrained
[code]....
and further want to replace "Max" by line number so that i can plot the resulting file. i searched in forum, but couldn't do what i wanted to do. e.g. i used
When using the pr command for formatting simple text files for printing, page numbers are included in the header by default. I figured out how to remove the date from the header (pr -D ""), and how to remove the title (pr -h ""), but for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove page numbering from the header. Anybody know how/if this can be accomplished?
I am using this command for blocking some ipaddress. but now i want to remove iapddress. when i try # route delete 64.126.45.122 SIOCDELRT: No such process
I need to remove a large binary file(PDF file) from a large log file which is generated daily.This is seriously hogging space on our servers.I need to remove the large PDF from the logs to make the logs smaller and manageable
I need to take out the texts (or binary file) between the strings
<my:PDF> and </my:PDF> <applicationForm> and </applicationForm> <image> and </image> <extractedSignature> and </extractedSignature>
I am not sure whether sed utility can do this, these are large files and need to be pruned .I am not seeking logrotation advice just a script or command that can strip these large logs of texts between the characters above . I am not sure how to do this.These files are rather large.I am not sure how to achieve this with sed , tail, head , tr or any other facility .
i am working on a project that uses message queues. i am able to successfully create them and they are working fine. now the problem is to close/remove message queues without software or mq_close / mq_unlink command. earlier when i worked on rh9, there is ipcs utility. we use ipcs to see all the existing message queues and ipcrm to remove them. however ipcs is not working for message queues in RHEL 5.3. Neither ipcs shows the exisiting message queues and neither we are able to use ipcrm. Plz guide to close/remove the queues with ipcs or any other command/utility from shell itself.
I have a custom made rpm. I need to install my particular RPM in a list of rpms which are part of a program. Say I have around 20 patch rpms which needs to be installed I need to install this through yum command. My particular RPM namely Patch-list.1.1.1.2-1.noarch.rpm needs to be installed as the first rpm in the total list of 21 rpms. I can modify my spec files and Makefiles as per my wish. what needs to be changed so that my rpm Patch-list.1.1.1.2-1.noarch.rpm will be installed first.
I need to set up auditing on an old RHL 8.0 server running kernel version 2.4.18-14 but I can't seem to find an archive with the rpm for that version of Red Hat.
Using yum installs the binary version of the software. Is it possible to use yum to download the src rpms , because i have seen one repo called Fedora src. I am using Fedora 11.
I'm trying to make an environmental variable RPMS that will resolve to a website. I know I have to make the changes in .bash_profile, but all the things I try don't seem to want to work.
I've tried: PATH=$RPMS:ftp://rha-server/pub/os/rhel5/Server/ or simply just making the variable itself $RPMS=ftp://rha-server/pub/os/rhel5/Server/
The second one made a variable just fine, but when I attempted to run this command:
Im trying to use a DBMS to store rpms for been reach by YUM, what I need to know is how to generate the repomd.xml and make it point to my dbms using href like [URL]...
i have a input text file contain 10 rpms and they are old versions i need a shell script to check if these rpms is installed or not and if the newer version is installed and i need all the results in one output text file contain every rpm and its condition ( the same) or (new )or( not installed)
Desperation has set in and hence you get to view a thread with this title. I think the title explains it all. Or, what can be done when packages are no longer available through the repository but installing them from RMP is boarder line crazy.
I am trying to install ns-allinone-2.26 & nrlsensorsim. But it gets failed. When i explorer the problem, i found that only gcc problem in fedora 10. So i tried installing gcc-3.0.1.tar.gz but it gets failed during "make". So please guide me to overcome this problem. give me steps either to downgrade or to install alternate gcc version (gcc-3.0.1 or gcc-everything-2.95.tar.gz)
I am trying to run matlab 7.7 (R2008b) on my ubuntu 9.10 distribution..the thing is that I am totally new with both matlab and linux and I get the following error message from matlab when I try to run an example mex-function:
Warning: You are using gcc version "". The earliest gcc version supported with mex is "4.0.0". The latest version tested for use with mex is "4.2.0". To download a different version of gcc, visit [URL] eval: 1: gcc: Permission denied mex: compile of ' "yprime.c"' failed. Error using ==> mex at 213 Unable to complete successfully.
I had gcc-4.4 as default on my pc, so after this error I downloaded an older version (gcc-4.1) and removed with rm the symbolic link in /usr/bin pointing to gcc-4.4 and created a new one pointing to gcc-4.1. Now when I type gcc -v in the terminal it says that gcc is in the packages gcc and pentium-builder, to do an apt-get install. I tried that but than it says that gcc-4.1 is already the newest version. It seems that I have multiple versions of gcc installed but neither the terminal nor matlab can find them.
I'm just wondering if there is an easy way I can generate a list of RPM packages which have been forcefully installed on the system (got a couple of servers transitioned).
I need to somehow do a yum installation (or equivalent of) on a system that is offline with no access to the internet. (I do have access to another Linux system that has internet access, but the Linux installations on both systems have different packages installed and enabled.)
Let's say the command to enter is 'yum install pkg1 pkg2 pkg3' (the documentation for some applications I need indicate the installation instructions this way, and not as the actual RPMs I need). Is there a way for me to run that on my offline system?
e.g. one way I can think of is to run that command on the online system, somehow if possible take note of what RPMs get installed, then transfer them to the offline system via USB and install all the RPMs via rpm command.
The problem with my above idea is that the two systems have different packages enabled, so even if yum on the online system shows a few dependencies being downloaded, I could run download and install all these RPMs and their dependencies on the offline system only to find several more missing dependencies, and dependencies of those dependencies.
