Can't install ART packages

Hi,

I'm trying to update PHP and mySQL on my VPS and it keeps failing:

[root@vps /]# yum update php

This is on a virtuozzo 2.6 VPS with plesk 7.5.2 and RH9.

Am I doing something wrong here? This is driving me nuts! Thanks in advance..

try using just plain old "yum update" or "yum upgrade" to see if it can resolve those issues

Ok, this is the result:

GRRRR!!!

If I force-install your PHP and mySQL packages will I blow up my server? What rpm switches would I use and can I do a rollback somehow if it gets hosed? I'm mainly after mySQL 4.x and it's performance advantages. Thanks for your help!

what version of kernel-smp and e2fsprogs are you running? Those are updates from fedoralegacy on rh9.

What you might try (avoiding YUM) is go into the reository and manually download the rpm's into their own folder (using wget in this case), then issue a "rpm -Uhv *".
Of course, it wouldn't solve the problem of why you can't update... it would only install them for you.

OK, I had an older version of YUM I found out. So I installed the version that you have here in your "rocket" depository. the php upgrade succeeded (yay!) I got some errors at the end of the mySQL upgrade, but it worked out ok. I'm now running version 4-something even though plesk reports it as 3-something still. plesk so far is working flawlessly, so I guess all is ok. If I do a "yum update" or "yum upgrade", I still get those above errors though, but I'm happy 'cause all I really wanted was the php and mySQL updates.

I dunno.. how can I check this? Although I am a windows network admin with 11 years experience, I'm currently a linux n00b

.. but I'm trying (and having a lot of fun)

you can look at the package versions using rpm:

rpm -q kernel-smp e2fsprogs

Thanks Scott,

Here is what I get:

[root@vps root]# rpm -q kernel-smp e2fsprogs
package kernel-smp is not installed
package e2fsprogs is not installed
[root@vps root]#

...remember this is on a Virtuozzo VPS. Would this be the reason why?

yeah that could be vps related I suppose. AFIAK the sw-soft rpm and popt packages are not yum friendly.

Thanks for everything Scott. I'm not worried about the other stuff. I got PHP and mySQL updated to what I needed and everything's working great, so I'm happy.

Has anyone figured out what caused the original conflict message. I am getting the same message while trying to update iptables:

Yeah thats a vserver you're in there, it doesn't really have a kernel in it, so you've got to work around all those non-existant interdependencies.
