Last week I tried doing a "yum update" on my BLAGHEAD partition and ran into lots of dependency errors. I'm suspecting that this is because my last update - from at least 3 months ago or more - was done using apt-get instead of yum. /me thinks I should probably just start from scratch.
On that topic, IIRC there is no iso for BLAGHEAD. Is the preferred method still to install 90001, modify the repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/blag.repo and do a "yum upgrade"? |
Mixing apt and yum doesn't really break things actually. They are both accessing the same database in /var/lib/rpm/ so you can use one then the other and it won't mess things up, which is nice.
That said depending on what you installed there may be missing dependencies. If you can name specific package names that are missing I can add them to the repo. For that matter if you want access to the build box i can show you how to add them to the repo for everyone yourself. :)

I've split this Topic out so that I can track the reinstall of BLAGHEAD on my "sandbox" at work. I'm installing BLAG 90K over Linux Mint and will be upgrading to BLAGHEAD based upon my notes. At home I'll try untangling my dependencies before resorting to a reinstall. Stay tuned...

Following the BLAGHEAD wiki I installed a fresh 90K image to a newly formatted partition and ran into a problem installing the blag-package-config package for yum:
| Code: | [root@bocajuniors]# rpm -Uvh blag-package-config-yum-9-0blag.f9.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package blag-package-config-yum-90-0blag.f9.noarch (which is newer than blag-package-config-yum-9-0blag.f9.i386) is already installed
|
I got past this by using the "--force":
| Code: | [root@bocajuniors]# rpm -Uvh --force blag-package-config-yum-9-0blag.f9.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:blag-package-config-yum########################################### [100%]
|
My next issue came after executing the "point of no return" command:
| Code: | [root@bocajuniors Downloads]# yum install upstart event-compat-sysv util-linux-ng ncurses-libs
blaghead | 1.1 kB 00:00

It doesn't seem as if removing initscripts is an option. I'm now wondering if I should perform this step in single-user mode. With this in mind I'm copying the BLAGHEAD repo to a USB stick so that I can install sans network. Stay tuned...

here's a question I should have asked up front: how big is the BLAGHEAD repo? I'm starting to think that trying to download the whole thing isn't such a good idea...

It's sort of like debian sid in that it's a "bleeding edge" version of BLAG, consisting of pre-released Fedora 10 and other repositories. It's a beautiful mess.

whereas I couldn't seem to get particularly far with a "yum update" I was able to install 500+ new packages by doing an "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade". I wasn't able to get a new kernel, however. kernel-libre#2.6.27-0.382.rc8.git4.fc10 depends on mkinitrd, which depends on plymouth, which depends on system-logos - which isn't in the repository. I'm currently running 2.6.25.2-libre.7.fc10.i686.

With blaghead you often have to do:
| Code: | | yum --skip-broken update |

system-logos is provided by blag-logos. Perhaps it needed a higher version number cuz it wants some new plymouth images or somesuch.

Thanks for the tip. It's a nice change to be back in the BLAGHEAD world again. :^)

You may be right about blag-logos lagging behind somewhat:
| Code: | root@bocajuniors=> rpm -q blag-logos
blag-logos-8.99.0-0blag.f9.noarch
|
Doesn't seem to be affecting anything beyond my ability to update the kernel. I'll keep playing around with dependencies this afternoon.

I'm running 2.6.25.2-libre.7.fc10.i686, which isn't too far behind my 90K system. Considering that I hadn't updated since August, having a few dozen unresolved dependencies isn't bad.
