Hi All!

Not sure if this is the correct area to post as I'm using RHEL 5.2. But here it is . . .

Getting an issue . . .

Code:

[root@qadmirror ~]# yum list xen*
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
rhel-i386-server-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00     
Installed Packages
xen.i386                                 3.0.3-64.el5           installed       
xen-libs.i386                            3.0.3-64.el5           installed       
Available Packages
xen-libs.i386                            3.0.3-64.el5_2.1       rhel-i386-server

When I run a yum update xen-libs.i386, I get . . .

Code:

[root@qadmirror ~]# yum update xen-libs
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
rhel-i386-server-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00

--> Processing Dependency: xen-libs = 3.0.3-64.el5 for package: xen
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: xen-libs = 3.0.3-64.el5 is needed by package xen

Anyone have a clue?

Thanks much!

You're trying to update xen-libs when xen needs the package already installed. I'd suggest upgrading both if there's updated xen packages available.

Thanks so much for your reply!

You mean like this??

Code:

[root@qadmirror ~]# yum upgrade xen.i386
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
rhel-i386-server-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00

Yup. Didn't find one or didn't match.

Try doing a yum list xen* to find all possible packages available.

Yep, did that first (see very top of post).

Ah, yeah. I'd suggest to just hold up on updating the package til they get an equivalent xen package to support it.
