dependency questions

[jorge ceballos]

Hi,

Have an up-to-day updated Plesk 9.2.3 (on the interface update section) running on linux centos5 64bit and using Qmail.
Ran 'yum upgrade --skip-broken ' as there's a missing depency of php-common = 5.2.11-2 which haven't been able to solve. Added Atomic's repository expecting to find this missing file without success.
Well anyway, running yum as above gets me:

Installing:
psa-mail-pc-driver x86_64 1.0.0-cos5.build92091016.19 plesk 1.8 M

sqlite2 x86_64 2.8.17-1.el5.art atomic 165 k
t1lib x86_64 5.1.2-2.el5.art atomic 208 k

The question is if it is safe to run the updates and dependencies mixing atomics' and plesks' packages.

TIA

I probably wouldn't skip that -common dependency. Its not coming from the atomic side, my guess is that some other package from someone else needs it. You also probably don't want to skip the psa-mail driver exclude unless you were intending on changing your MTA to postfix

Thanks Atomicturtle,

you are right, the missing php-common = 5.2.11-2 arouse from the last Plesk update from 9.1 to 9.2 .
Any idea where can I find it? so far, repos I've looked at don't have it.

On the other hand, would you suggest doing the upgrade skipping the deps until I can find them?

TIA

 

[atomicturtle]

Its in [atomic], sounds to me like you're excluding something.

I definitely dont recommend skipping, overriding, or otherwise forcing around dependencies. You end up making all kinds of trouble for yourself down the road.

 

[jorge ceballos]

Thanks Atomicturtle, as usual you were right.

the yum.conf file show this exclusions:

exclude=kernel* sendmail bind-chroot caching-nameserver php php-common php-cli php-ldap

I don't remeber setting these; still which are recomended to exclude?
As said before I run a regular updated Plesk 9.2.3 on a CentOs5 64 bit.

Thanks again for your help.

 

[atomicturtle]

Id remove all of those, and just make sure you dont have the bind-chroot package installed. Theres a plesk bug with that one.

 

[jorge ceballos]

Thanks for the input AtomicTurtle.
Everything is updated and running fine.

best command

I gave up and decided to do everything by force.

My new favorite command line.

rpm -Uvh --force *.rpm --nodeps

Things work now.

 

[atomicturtle]

Yeah dont ever do that This would have bypassed that:

yum --disableexcludes=all upgrade
