Summary | 0007308: Update to RC failed | ||||
Description | I had the link http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64-latest/ in my yum repo file. Did a update and changed the entry in repo to http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64-20140704-1/. After that I did a yum update again. The update from centos-release failed. Here the output: Downloading packages: No Presto metadata available for centos7 (1/2): centos-release-7-0.1406.el7.centos.2.3.x86_64.rpm | 19 kB 00:00 (2/2): kexec-tools-2.0.4-32.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm | 319 kB 00:01 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 214 kB/s | 338 kB 00:01 Running transaction check Running transaction test Transaction test succeeded Running transaction Updating : kexec-tools-2.0.4-32.el7.centos.x86_64 1/4 Updating : centos-release-7-0.1406.el7.centos.2.3.x86_64 2/4 Error unpacking rpm package centos-release-7-0.1406.el7.centos.2.3.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/doc/redhat-release: cpio: rename error: centos-release-7-0.1406.el7.centos.2.3.x86_64: install failed error: centos-release-7-0.el7.0.140617.3.x86_64: erase skipped Cleanup : kexec-tools-2.0.4-32.el7.x86_64 3/4 Verifying : kexec-tools-2.0.4-32.el7.centos.x86_64 1/4 centos-release-7-0.el7.0.140617.3.x86_64 was supposed to be removed but is not!

Try # rm -rf /usr/share/doc/redhat-release # rm -rf /usr/share/doc/centos-release and then try updating the centos-release package again. The symlinks for these directories were changed at some point, and yum doesn't seem to be able to handle the transition. |

Ok, that is what I did, of course ;-) The background of bug report is to show what happen if you do this update. But I don't know how important this is, and if it's easy to fix. Thanks for quick answering to my bugs. |

Yes, sure, thanks for testing and the bug report, this is much appreciated. I'm closing this bug as "not fixable" for now. It is known that upgrading from a prior pre-release centos-release to the current centos-release can lead to the error you described. Fresh installs of the newest centos-release package work without problems, so this is not going to be a problem for CentOS 7 GA. Note that there is no supported upgrade path from RC to GA. A fresh reinstall of the GA version is recommended, when CentOS 7 eventually hits General Availability. |
