Hi,

today I tried to update my 3.0.2.4 to 3.0.2.5 and encountered these issues:

Code: Select all

[EFA] : 14
[EFA] Good you are root
[EFA] Starting update to EFA-3.0.2.5

No Packages marked for Update
Your system has an updated kernel, but you are not running
on the latest kernel. Please restart your system and run
EFA-Update after restart.
/var/EFA/update/EFA-update-script died with exit status 1
Press [Enter] key to continue...
After the reboot, eFa still showed 3.0.2.4, which may be caused by the abnormal exit of the update script.

Cheers,
budy

Yeah - but that doesn't solve the issue of the mariadb repo being unavailable and thus even after a reboot, the systen still says 3.0.2.4.
I have not yet tried another repo for that, but that repo is - as of now - unavailable.

After you restart and run the update again and it still doesn't work let us know.

yum will attempt other mirrors.

I forgot to mention that… I tried after a reboot, but the update didn't get past the repo error.

Based on the above message, I see an attempt to connect to the repo using ipv6 instead of ipv4, which it should not be doing.

You can also temporarily disable the mariadb repo in /etc/yum.conf.d to allow 3.0.2.5 update to proceed and work on updating the mariadb binaries later.

Yes, it tried ipv6 - don't know either, why it did that. I do now have 3.0.2.5 installed, but I had to reboot twice. Once after the initial update, which downloaded and installed the new kernel, but didn't create a new initrd. That had been done one the next reboot, which is why the system didn't perform the update to 3.0.2.5. After the 2nd reboot, I was able to update to 3.0.2.5.

Usually, I am used to create the new initrd as the last step after downloading/installing the new kernels, so I probably assumed that this would be the same case here. In that case, one reboot would have sufficed.
