ok... found the issue..

yum clean all works ONLY on enabled repos..

to verify it, try

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=dag clean all
yum --enablerepo=dag list perl-Filesys-DiskFree*

ps what can I use instead of VMware?  On my backup server SME 9 (in the same box) I would like to run one more test server.

virtualbox works on SME
search here in the forums and in the wiki

[CharlieBrady]

something seems wrong on your side..

My guess is it would be fixed via "yum clean all".

[Stefano]

no.. yum clean all works only with enabled repos..
just try yourself

and, IMHO, this is bad

[CharlieBrady]

no.. yum clean all works only with enabled repos..

So I noticed just after posting.

and, IMHO, this is bad

Agreed.

[Stefano]

from yum man page:

Clean Options

The following are the ways which you can invoke yum in clean
mode. Note that "all files" in the commands below means "all files in currently enabled repositories". If you want to also clean any (temporarily) disabled repositories you need to use --enablerepo='*' option.

so it's not a bug, it's a feature (Cit.)

[CharlieBrady]

No, it's a documented bug.

[Stefano]

No, it's a documented bug.

I agree..

now, the question is.. should it be documented anywhere in the wiki?

Stefano & Charlie

So where there is a need to use
yum clean all
then a better command to use would be
yum clean all --enablerepo=*
(not sure if the inverted commas were really needed).

I think this should be added to the wiki, in the section that refers to repositories etc (is it the FAQ ?)

Go for it!

I have updated this page
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ:Section01#General
to show
yum clean all --enablerepo=*

If there is anywhere else people can think of, let me know.
