This are some RPM/YUM general tips that I need to write somewhere to don't forget them.

List the Content on the RPM Server

 yum list

or search something more specifically like the "gcc" available

yum list gcc*

Install something

yum install <put-the-name-here>

Ex:

yum install libc

Ex. with several packaged:

yum install libc gcc-4.4.4 gcc-4.7.3 openssl curl libjpeg libxslt libicu zlib libxml2 mmap pthread urpo libstdc++6

Reinstall Something

yum install <put-the-name-here>

Ex:

yum reinstall coreutils

Update all the stuff you have installed

yum update

Install YUM/RPM

Sometime RPM did not get automatically updated or installed. You can manually install them again with:

yum install rpm

Installing the Netlabs Experimental Repository

There is other repository for netlabs experimental stuff. You can use it under your risk.

This repository can be installed do doing a:

 yum install netlabs-exp

It can also be set manually by creating a file under:

x:\etc\yum\repos.d\netlabs-exp.repo

with content:

[netlabs-exp]
name=Netlabs experimental repository $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://rpm.netlabs.org/experimental/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1

Clean

 yum clean all

Check

This command check is the dependencies of the packaged are installed correctly.

yum check

RebuildDB

If your RPM database got corrupted you can use:

rpm --rebuilddb

TroubleShooting

Some of the quick tips:

  • Review any duplicated files on the Libpath between X:\ecs\dll and x:\usr
  • Make a "yum clean all", sometime it works.


Error: No such table: packages

If you get this error maybe a "yum clean all" can help a little bit.

Possible Solution

Check the duplicated files on the LIBPATH (check on eComStation Kernel on System Setup). There can be duplicated DLLs between x:\eCS\DLL and x:\usr\lib
