RE: [OT] up2date broken for my rhl7.3 box?

["Schmehl, Paul L" <pauls () utdallas edu>]

Try uninstalling mysql.  You can do a rpm -qa | grep mysql to find all
the associated rpms.  Then run rpm -V <name of rpm>.  This should tell
you what dependencies mysql has, if any, and what might be missing.  You
can also run rpm -e --test <name of rpm>, and it will show you any
dependencies that would have be be uninstalled first.

You could also try rpm --rebuilddb to see if you can correct the errors
(if there are any) in your rpm database.  And you can run rpm -R to see
what dependencies the database thinks mysql has - to compare to what you
got from rpm -e --test.

Basically man rpm will tell you all this, but you have to read through
it a few times.

Paul,


The ladder reply; up2date runs but when it 'trips' over MySql it says
its an  "Unresolvable chain of dependencies:"...I'd rather not do the
up2date --install --nodeps (I've been informed that this would not be a
nice thing to do to the rpm database?
