To which ppp package should he upgrade? There hasn't been any ppp upgrade for Psyche. Is that ppp-2.4.1-7 the original one from Psyche or from a different site? What files does it contain?

Please never upgrade a kernel. Always install the kernel. Download the kernel rpm and do a rpm -ivh kernel...

I am attempting to upgrade the kernel via up2date, so this should not even be a problem. But when I try to install it manually, I get the following error message: error: Failed dependencies: ppp <= 2.3.15 conflicts with kernel-2.4.18-24.8.0 As I stated before, the version of ppp that I have is 2.4.1-7.

If nothing helps, you can also uninstall ppp (and what depends on it), install the kernel, then reinstall the erased packages. === To: psyche-list@listman.redhat.com From: Bill and/or Chris <bill_chris@earthlink.net> Subject: Re: Having trouble upgrading to latest kernel Date: 21 Feb 2003 06:31:46 -0500 Michael Schwendt wrote: > Jesse Keating wrote: > > > Bill and/or Chris wrote: > > > I am trying to upgrade to the latest kernel, 2.4.18-24.8.0, and I keep > > > getting an error message from up2date saying, "Test install failed > > > because of package conflicts: package ppp-2.4.1-7 is already > > > installed".

I had actually thought about uninstalling ppp, but I was wondering if there was another way. === To: psyche-list@listman.redhat.com From: Michael Kuss <kuss@pi.infn.it> Subject: Re: Having trouble upgrading to latest kernel Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2003 12:40:57 +0100 (CET) Bill and/or Chris wrote: > Michael Schwendt wrote: > > Jesse Keating wrote: > > > > > Bill and/or Chris wrote: > > > > I am trying to upgrade to the latest kernel, 2.4.18-24.8.0, and I keep > > > > getting an error message from up2date saying, "Test install failed > > > > because of package conflicts: package ppp-2.4.1-7 is already > > > > installed".

I think it consensus that it should work the way you are doing it. I would try three things: 1) rpm -V ppp 2) the before mentioned erase of "conflicting packages" (reinstall ppp and friends is not such a hassle), install kernel, and reinstall 3) rebuild the rpm database. Maybe something there got corrupted. === To: psyche-list@listman.redhat.com From: Ralf Spenneberg <lists@spenneberg.org> Subject: Re: Having trouble upgrading to latest kernel Date: 21 Feb 2003 13:07:33 +0100 Bill and/or Chris: > > > error: Failed dependencies: > > > ppp <= 2.3.15 conflicts with kernel-2.4.18-24.8.0 > > > > > > As I stated before, the version of ppp that I have is 2.4.1-7.

Just for the curious, can you do a rpm -q --whatprovides ppp Anyway, if all version are save you should be able to do a rpm -i --nodeps kernel Rebuilding the database might help, too (did you do it yet? it does not hurt!) rpm --rebuilddb If everything fails and you still are curious and not annoyed you might want to post on the RedHat RPM list (see https://listman.redhat.com). Otherwise remove ppp and install the kernel and ppp afterwards. You might have to remove some additional packages, but they are pulled in again by up2date ppp later on. === To: psyche-list@listman.redhat.com From: Michael Schwendt <ms0301rh@arcor.de> Subject: Re: Having trouble upgrading to latest kernel Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2003 13:13:54 +0100 Bill and/or Chris wrote: > I am attempting to upgrade the kernel via up2date, so this should not > even be a problem.

Maybe something there got corrupted. I tried rebuilding the rpm database, but up2date still gives me the same error.

You have to remove ppp-mppe-2.4.0-4 because the database states that this package provides ppp-2.4.0! Then everything should work.
