[Fwd: yum updates]

[Timo Bergemann]

Hello all,

I was working earlier with kickstart and I was used to make first a 
basic installation via kickstart and then to upgrade to the latest 
packages via yum in the %POST.
unfortunately this I have seen the last time working in FC3.

when I try  to update all packages in %post I get a lot like followed:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/mnt/sysimage/usr/bin/yum", line 28, in ?
   import yummain
ImportError: No module named yummain

even if I do not believe that i should do a chroot to /mnt/sysimage,
if I try the same but before "chroot /mnt/sysimage" I come further but 
not far enough. I get a list of all packages which will get upgraded but 
then finally a crash with a lot of errors like this which I will append 
later if needed.
But the fix should be anyway NOT to chroot

Another problem is if i try to run a perl script. it also complains 
about missing libs which are not in / but already in /mnt/sysimage
But if I try to chroot to /mnt/sysimage before executing the perl script 
it works
I believe that this is the same error: unreached / unknown libs.
can anybody tell me what has been changed or even better - how to I get 
yum running during the installation again? Or/ AND  is there a way to 
install from updated repositories without creating my own updated "base" 
repo, if I give all repositories to the kickstart script:

nfs --server oscrepo.hq.eso.org --dir 
/repo/mirrors/fedora-core-6-base/i386/os/
repo --name=updates 
--baseurl=ftp://oscrepo.hq.eso.org/linuxrepos/hosts/nb012931/eso/formats/yum/
repo --name=eso 
--baseurl=ftp://oscrepo.hq.eso.org/linuxrepos/hosts/nb012931/eso/formats/yum/
%packages --resolvedeps


Thank you for your help
Timo
