Hello,
Today, I encoutered the following problem while trying to update
openssl.
On my local machine, I have
# rpm -qa | grep openssl
openssl-0.9.6b-24
openssl-devel-0.9.6b-24
On the server, all the latest updates are in one directory (except
kernel, glibc)
# ls -C1 7.3/i386/openssl-*
7.3/i386/openssl-0.9.6b-28.i386.rpm
7.3/i386/openssl-0.9.6b-28.i686.rpm
7.3/i386/openssl-devel-0.9.6b-28.i386.rpm
7.3/i386/openssl-perl-0.9.6b-28.i386.rpm
Now, if I try to update:
# rpm -Fvh 7.3/i386/openssl-*
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6b conflicts between attempted installs of
openssl-0.9.6b-28 and openssl-0.9.6b-28
file /lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b conflicts between attempted installs of
openssl-0.9.6b-28 and openssl-0.9.6b-28
(...)
This seems to come from the fact that both openssl-0.9.6b-28.i386.rpm and
openssl-0.9.6b-28.i686.rpm are in the same directory.
How is it that rpm cannot take into account the i686?
How should I have done it?
I also tested this with apt for rpms (following
http://freshrpms.net/apt/
)
The directory with updated rpms for apt has the same rpms:
# ls -C1 7.3/en/i386/RPMS.updates/openssl-*
7.3/en/i386/RPMS.updates/openssl-0.9.6b-28.i386.rpm
7.3/en/i386/RPMS.updates/openssl-0.9.6b-28.i686.rpm
7.3/en/i386/RPMS.updates/openssl-devel-0.9.6b-28.i386.rpm
7.3/en/i386/RPMS.updates/openssl-perl-0.9.6b-28.i386.rpm
And apt-get does solve it cleanly:
# apt-get install openssl

It has to be noted that RedHat up2date is absolutely prohibited
for us as it costs too much.
We have a redhat mirror here (mirrored from an academic swiss site).
The cost for using the european network is included in an annual
package. But every byte that comes from the US is charged separately.
What would be the aim of having any single machine going to Red Hat
for update? I am surprised here by the strategy of Red Hat.
