Hi,

I want to upgrade from 8.0 to 8.1 but

yum update

does not work. Still 8.0

Probably the cause is that I compiled DRBD myself because it was not available for 8.0 when I set up the machine. Now yum update says:

Error:
 Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package drbd-pacemaker-9.11.0-1.el8.x86_64
  – nothing provides pacemaker needed by drbd-pacemaker-9.13.1-1.el8.x86_64
 Problem 2: cannot install both drbd-utils-9.13.1-1.el8.x86_64 and drbd-utils-9.11.0-1.el8.x86_64
  – package drbd-heartbeat-9.11.0-1.el8.x86_64 requires drbd-utils =
9.11.0-1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed
  – cannot install the best update candidate for package drbd-utils-9.11.0-1.el8.x86_64
  – problem with installed package drbd-heartbeat-9.11.0-1.el8.x86_64
 Problem 3: cannot install both drbd-utils-9.13.1-1.el8.x86_64 and drbd-utils-9.11.0-1.el8.x86_64
  – package drbd-pacemaker-9.11.0-1.el8.x86_64 requires drbd-utils =
9.11.0-1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed
  – package drbd-9.13.1-1.el8.x86_64 requires drbd-utils = 9.13.1, but none of the providers can be installed

  – nothing provides pacemaker needed by drbd-pacemaker-9.13.1-1.el8.x86_64
(try to add ‘–allowerasing’ to command line to replace conflicting packages or ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages or ‘–nobest’
to use not only best candidate packages)

with –nobest yum update runs through without doing anything and I sill have kernel 4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.x86_64

Any ideas how to update my server?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

One thought on - Problem Upgrading From 8.0 To 8.1

  • OK, I found the  problem. I had

    exclude=kernel* CentOS-release*

    in yum.conf to protect my drbd kernel module.
