[Spacewalk-list] checking for package conflicts

[Francoeur, Louis]

To eliminate the duplicate and problem packages, you will have to identify which ones.

You can modify /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf to add something like:

[rpmforge-6-x86_64]
exclude=perl*

This example will not install any package named perl* to be installed but you still will see them in the web UI (but from command line with yum, you will be ok).

To remove them from the web UI, you will have to delete the package from the channel and in the repository filter field  add:

-perl*

This will prevent to sync any perl package from the repository.

After all that you will be ok with the web UI.

Hope this help you.
Louis

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] checking for package conflicts

Hello,

I have been having lot of problems with conflicts and duplicate packages while performing the system update. Is there a command to check for conflicts before scheduling the actual update in the UI?

Hosts are running with RHEL5.5 and 6.2 and I wanted to upgrade the systems to latest dot releases.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ramesh
