Hi All,

I set up a BQ server yesterday and did yum update -y which installed  
hundreds of packages.

Two problems so far:
1, Yum repo: NuOnce.repo has been clean out somehow:
[root (at mark) w1 mail]# more /etc/yum.repos.d/NuOnce.repo
# [NuOnce Networks]

It was
  [NuOnce Networks]
name=Software from NuOnce Networks - $basearch
baseurl=http://www.nuonce.net/repos/
gpgcheck=0

Now everything I do yum update, will have this error:
Error: Bad repository file ///etc/yum.repos.d/NuOnce.repo, no repo  
stanzas.


2, Some warnings about .rpmnew
There are some warnings during Yum update. Mostly are conf file,  
instead of overwrite the current one, Yum update create a new one:   
*.rpmnew.  I guess it doesn't want to overwritten our original ones.  
So we need to find a way to merge the original one and the new one  
manually?
I have these:
[root@w1 mail]# ls -lR / |grep rpmnew
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   46678 Jan  6 07:49 dovecot.conf.rpmnew
-rw-r--r--   1 root root      47 Jul 27  2008 issue.rpmnew
-rw-r--r--   1 root root     649 Mar 20  2008 passwd.rpmnew
-rw-r-----   1 root named     77 Jan 15 06:32 rndc.key.rpmnew
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 34704 Nov 15 19:54 httpd.conf.rpmnew
-rw-r--r--  1 root  root  58156 Jul 25  2008 sendmail.cf.rpmnew

Search on google, and found a old post that Brian claimed leave  
original sendmail.cf alone. BQ has modified this file...

Comments?

Thanks,
tim
