  • Can't update Hal due to conficts

    Posted on

    Hi,

    We are having problem with one of our servers running RHEL 5.3. The first problem that lead to title of this post is problem with yum certificate, which we tried to solve by applying solution from this article 353033. We tried to download all necessary packages to the server - as it's physical server in remote localisation, therefore we can insert ISO to update them from it. Unfortunatelly, its OS needs to have updated also hal and m2crypto packages. The output from rpm -F doesn't give much hope:

    rpm -F hal-0.5.8.1-52.el5.x86_64.rpm
            file /etc/rc.d/init.d/haldaemon from install of hal-0.5.8.1-52.el5.x86_64 conflicts with file from package hal-0.5.8.1-38.el5.i386
            file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-el5-lenovo.fdi from install of hal-0.5.8.1-52.el5.x86_64 conflicts with file from package hal-0.5.8.1-38.el5.i386
    

    We don't want to break the server, as it will be troublesome to fix it. Do you know any other method that could safely let us update those packages and have yum fixed?

    Regards,
    Pat
