Hi

My update from 3.0.0.8 to 3.0.0.9 is failing with the following error.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Do you use those perl scripts?

They are not bundled with EFA....

[yashodhan]

Yes. Used for generating a report.

I will remove them and try the upgrade.

[yashodhan]

Removed the postfix-perl-scripts-2.6.6-6.el6_7.1.x86_64 and update went smooth.

Thanks.

[shawniverson]

Do you need these perl scripts? If so, maybe I can build a new rpm for them.

[yashodhan]

No Thanks. I just copied the script to the new server and it runs without an issue.

Hi,

i am getting this error when i am upgrading:

Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/share/man/man3/XML::SAX::Base.3pm.gz from install of perl-XML-SAX-0.96-7.el6.noarch conflicts with file from package perl-XML-SAX-Base-1.04-1.el6.rf.noarch

I fixed the error I had by manually removing the conflicting package (rpm -e) and then running the upgrade.
After snapshotting the machine in a scheduled downtime.
