CentOS 4.3 update to 4.4 Glitch

[taotoon]

I had a problem doing the update from CentOS 4.3 to 4.4 this morning. Most likely due to my selective updating of certain packages in the wrong order. Basically after updating yum, updates would hang and shoot the cpu through the roof. The problem seems to be a difference in the sqlite format of the yum cache files since sqlite is updated in this upgrade.

To fix this I did the following:

rpm -e yum sqlite sqlite-devel python-sqlite

rm -rf /var/cache/yum

Downloaded the 4.3 versions of yum, sqlite, sqlite-devel and python-sqlite
http://altruistic.lbl.gov/mirrors/ce...6/CentOS/RPMS/ and install them:

rpm -ivh yum sqlite sqlite-devel python-sqlite

Then before you do any other updating, explicitly upgrade those to the 4.4 versions:

yum update yum sqlite sqlite-devel python-sqlite

Then I was fine to:

yum update

Houston, we have a problem!!!

Have you contacted Tech Support?

I cannot believe this isn't affecting other ppl on 'your' server...

Not yet, I am trying to solve by myself. Because call tech support, they never teach us.

2. httpd.i386 need to update in WHM / Apache update.

3. Module::Build need to update in SSH2.

4. Now I have only one problem:

Resolving Dependencies
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Package glibc-common.i386 0:2.3.4-2.25 set to be updated
---> Package glibc.i386 0:2.3.4-2.25 set to be updated
---> Package glibc-devel.i386 0:2.3.4-2.25 set to be updated
---> Package glibc-headers.i386 0:2.3.4-2.25 set to be updated
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.13 for package: glibc-dummy-centos-4
--> Finished Dependency Resolution

I think it come from SWsoft VPS conflict with centos 4.4

I have updated to the latest Centos 4.4, but the install a perl script tool in WHM does not seem to work any more. When I click on the menu link i am presented with the search box but when i search for a module, a blank page is returned (with no results - not even a "No results found" message)

I faced the same problem after upgrade to Centos 4.4.

Then I run commands:

/scripts/perlinstaller Module::Build
/scripts/perlinstaller CPAN

and they solved! If they don't work, try to manual install them (download the lastest versions).

I thought that a managed VPS would automatically get updated by the tech staff... Am I wrong?

I'm not a VPS customer, but my understanding of the way it works is that you have to request updates before they'll be done. Support will do them for you, but only on your request.
