yum --version gives:
Repository dell-testing is listed more than once in the configuration
2.4.3
(the dell-testing message always comes up when I run yum)
And the following files are in /etc/yum.repos.d:
dell-firmware-repository.repo
dell-testing-repository.repo
dell-unsupported-repository.repo
dell.repo.rpmsave
rhel4-Base.repo
rhel4-extras.repo
rhel4-updates.repo
Repositories seem to be working OK I think, 'yum search xorg-x11' gives
plenty of results. I was about to say that 'yum update' updates bash
properly, however it seems that it actually fails - after 'yum update'
prompts me to update bash to 3.0-19.3 it says "error: unpacking of archive
failed on file /bin/bash: cpio: rename". I'm guessing that has to do with
chmod settings or something? Though I don't know how to resolve that
either.
Thanks.
