Step upgrade problem from CentOS 4 server
Posted: 2017/11/24 07:38:25
Hello all,
I have inherited a CentOS 4 server which is still in production. Using the vault repo's I have updated it to 4.9
The CentOS server has been added to over the years and has many services running and 1700+ packages installed.
The server owner wants to upgrade it to a supported CentOS version such a CentOS 6.
I am simulating a step upgrade it to CentOS 5 first by setting up a new CentOS 4 server and installing the package list from the real production system.
I have been following the guide here: https://www.rfxn.com/upgrade-centos-4-to-5/
I have pointed the Centos-Base.repo file to use the 5.11 vault.
It has gone "by the book" so far except that I keep hitting "road blocks" in resolving all the dependency problems in the "yum upgrade" step.
The current road block is this error:
Error: Missing Dependency: libdmraid.so.1.0.0.rc13-17 is needed by package python-pyblock
Error: Missing Dependency: libdmraid.so.1.0.0.rc13-17(Base) is needed by package python-pyblock
I have managed these by removing the problem module, in this case "python-pyblock" whoever I can find no trace of it on the system and "yum remove" or "rpm -e" fails to work.
I currently have a bootable system which has the CentOS 5.x kernel and thinks it is CentOS 5.3 but all the packages are still from 4.9.
Any ideas? Thanks
