Yum update went wrong
guzzi:
Hi,
Today I ran yum update. The packages to be updated were rpm ones and the update went wrong.
See http://trac.netlabs.org/rpm/ticket/102#ticket for details.
Has anyone else experienced this?
In any case, better wait with updating the RPM packages until it has been determined what the cause of the failure is.
Dave Yeo:
Probably the bad urpo package. Go to http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/ and download urpo-20150101-9_oc00.zip and unzip it over your @unixroot replacing the files. Then do a yum update again to keep everything in sync.
At least that was the advice I saw for someone else :)
guzzi:
Thanks Dave, that did the trick. I wish however that this person had created a ticket so the package could have been updated....
guzzi:
Had to unlock urpo.dll to overwrite it and rebooted before running yum update again. The funny files with funny names like _rpm.dll;54a889d6 and urpo.dll;54a881c9 have been cleared by yum/rpm as well.

I know who reported it. I am pretty sure that he was told to simply replace URPO.DLL without bothering to open a ticket (apparently they already knew that it was screwed up). Unfortunately, it was a case where YUM screwed something up, which required manual intervention to fix it. How a normal user is supposed to figure that out, is beyond me. You will also never know that you have a problem, unless you happen to see the error messages go by.

They didn't get cleared, for me. I had to erase them. If you had checked, those were the updated files, that were supposed to replace the files that didn't update properly. The failure occurred when the files didn't get replaced properly. I don't know if that was a program flaw, or a problem with the update package. In either case, I am not impressed with the Quality Control (or lack of it) of YUM.
Also note, that if you try to do something with the files that have a semi-colon in the name, using 4OS2, it doesn't work properly. The normal command processor doesn't seem to mind.
