New Install on RHEL 4.0 ES

[matt.simpson]

I'm trying to install Plesk on a fresh RHEL 4.0 ES box using Autoinstaller 3 and it checks to see what RPM's may be missing that Plesk requires.

The problem is that my box is up2date and Plesk's autoinstaller is looking for an old version of the selinux-policy-targeted rpm, because it can't install the old version over the new version, the installation is failing:

Install package selinux-policy-targeted
package selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.126 (which is newer than selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.110) is already installed
Error while execute command rpm -U /root/psa/PSA_8.0.0/update-rpm-RedHat-el4-i386/selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.110.noarch.rpm
ERROR: error while executing RPM
ERROR: Installation failed

Any ideas?

I had a smiliar problem on a new Centos4.3 install. I had to remove the newest rpm and re-ran the autoinstaller which than installed fine. I than updated back to the newest rpm after the install.

or install manually the selinux-policy-targeted-sources rpm that match your selinux-policy-targeted rpm version.

Actually what I ended up doing was:

1. Start the autoinstaller and go to the screen which asked me to choose what options I wanted to install.

2. Opened up a new terminal window and opened up /root/psa/PSA_8.0.0/plesk-8.0.0-rhel4-i386.inf3 in vi. Changed:

<package file="selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.110.noarch.rpm" name="selinux-policy-targeted" version="1.17.30" release="2.110" arch="noarch" md5="81c7227d156e53bdc8b1e1afc626f854" buildtime="1126546011" size="110685" />

and

<package file="selinux-policy-targeted-sources-1.17.30-2.110.noarch.rpm" name="selinux-policy-targeted-sources" version="1.17.30" release="2.110" arch="noarch" md5="2fceb485f863b57fb6a546528bc7c16d" buildtime="1126546011" size="168114" />

TO:

<package file="selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.126.noarch.rpm" name="selinux-policy-targeted" version="1.17.30" release="2.126" arch="noarch" md5="81c7227d156e53bdc8b1e1afc626f854" buildtime="1126546011" size="110685" />

and

<package file="selinux-policy-targeted-sources-1.17.30-2.126.noarch.rpm" name="selinux-policy-targeted-sources" version="1.17.30" release="2.126" arch="noarch" md5="2fceb485f863b57fb6a546528bc7c16d" buildtime="1126546011" size="168114" />

Basically, just replaced 2.110 with 2.126, saved the file and continued within the auto installer.

Its awfully upsetting that simple bugs like that are getting past SWSoft.

I don't think it's a bug really... if you think about it, it sort of makes sense. They're putting the latest version they've tested with into their autoinstaller utility.

I think it's more of an design issue really... they should either ensure that their repository is updated daily with RedHat's latest updates or they should simply add a check to not only make sure the package is installed, but also check that if it is installed the version is greater than or equal to the version they're saying should be installed.
