| 46933 | 2002-05-03 08:44:00 | I just finished downloading all the updates from up2date and it finished the installation of everything but there were errors shown in the console. Here's what it said: warning: Expected size: 18256774 = lead(96)+sigs(149)+pad(3)+data(18256526) warning: Actual size: 1548288 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.80775: [: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.80775: integer expression expected warning: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date created as /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date.rpmnew warning: Expected size: 18256774 = lead(96)+sigs(149)+pad(3)+data(18256526) warning: Actual size: 1548288 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/ksysguard;3cd1878e: cpio: re Traceback (innermost last): File '/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py', line 786, in doInstallation fileName = '%s/%s-%s-%s-%s.rpm' % (path, File '/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2date.py', line 2112, in installBootLoad self.__refresh() File '/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/checkbootloader.py', line 61, in whichBoot try: OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''/dev/hdf8'' Should I be worried? Can this be fixed. If so how do I go about it? |

What compression are they using? If it's not clear from an exetension/extensions, use 'file name_of_One_of_Them', then use the appropriate uncompressor in test mode (eg 'tar tvzf somthing.tar.gz'). Have you got a /dev/hdf8 (6th IDE drive, with 8 partitions) ? RH says you haven't. |

| 46935 | 2002-05-04 10:20:00 | I am sure I'm not running short of disk space. I have 50 megs for /boot 1Gig upto 2Gigs for swap and then about 11Gigs for / When running the up2date program it downloads RPMs into the /var/spool/up2date directory and then I think they just run the command rpm -Fvh on the RPM. I am not sure about the manual method but I used up2date because it supposedly does it automatically for you. I do have a /dev/hdf8 that's my boot partition then hdf9 is swap and hdf10 is / |

It couldn't. In fact on a closer look it says so: that second to last error message says that it did NOT install a file which InstallBootLoadself._refresh() wanted. Then the check routine could not find it in your /dev/hdf8 (WOW!) /boot partition. The first two messages are warnings: the file is much smaller than expected, but it tried anyway. Once you get 'errors', it has gone beyond warning. It had failed. |
