Reinstall packages from a specific repository
Today, I looked on one of my hosts to see if there are any packages installed that are not from 'rhel-7-server-rpms' or 'anaconda'. And surprise, there are for of them:
# yum list installed | grep -v "rhel-7-server-rpms\|anaconda" Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager Installed Packages NetworkManager-config-server.x86_64 Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-Release_Notes-7-en-US.noarch libdnet.x86_64 1.12-13.1.el7 @rhel-7-server-eus-rpms libicu.x86_64 50.1.2-15.el7 @rhel-7-server-eus-rpms libmspack.x86_64 0.5-0.4.alpha.el7 @rhel-7-server-eus-rpms net-tools.x86_64 2.0-0.17.20131004git.el7 @rhel-7-server-eus-rpms sed.x86_64 4.2.2-5.el7.sjis.1 @rhel-sjis-for-rhel-7-server-eus-rpms
# yum repolist enabled Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager repo id repo name status rhel-7-server-rpms/7Server/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server (RPMs) 14,280 repolist: 14,280
I would like to use packages from 'rhel-7-server-rpms' only. Is it a problem that there are packages from other repos installed that are not available anymore?
If there is an update for one of these packages available in 'rhel-7-server-rpms', will the packages from 'rhel-7-server-eus-rpms' or 'rhel-sjis-for-rhel-7-server-eus-rpms' be updated automatically? Is there any way to reinstall these packages from 'rhel-7-server-rpms'? The reinstall subcommand exits with an error:
# yum reinstall sed Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager rhel-7-server-rpms | 3.5 kB 00:00:00 Installed package sed-4.2.2-5.el7.sjis.1.x86_64 (from rhel-sjis-for-rhel-7-server-eus-rpms) not available. Error: Nothing to do
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.
Regards,
Joerg
