I think I did a Bad Thing when I typed "yum update",
and walked away for a day or two. On returning to the session, I saw there were updates available (as had no doubt been reported just after my update request). In the future, at the "Y/N" prompt I will
always type "N" and start again, I promise. On this occasion, however, I recklessly typed "Y". So here I am.
Now when I type "yum update", here's what happens:
Code:
root@blix:~> yum update

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /lib/libnss_wins.so.2;44cdc11c: cpio: write
Updated: samba-common.i386 0:3.0.10-1.4E.6.2
Complete!
I'm running CentOS 4.3 x86_64, a (full, i.e. all packages) default installation, so no manual customisation of yum.conf, or /etc/yum.repos.d/*.
I've run "yum clean all", but this doesn't clear the problem.
The "good" news is that Samba seems to be running OK for now, but I'm concerned that the samba-common package has not been updated:
Code:
root@blix:~> rpm -q samba-common
samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.6
Compare this with other samba packages:
Code:
root@blix:~> rpm -q samba-client
samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E.6.2
root@blix:~> rpm -q samba-swat
samba-swat-3.0.10-1.4E.6.2
Since the main purpose of this box is as a file server for Windows clients, I'd like to get this resolved before it bites me!
Can anyone here see what's going on, or offer any hints?
Thanks for any suggestions!
