Hello,

I use the online_update script via cron to download
packages, and then I use it manually to install packages.

Recently, updates to apache2 were downloaded, but running
online_update -i returns an error when trying to update
apache.

So then I decided to try updating apache manually via rpm,
here are the errors:

# rpm -Uvh apache2-2.0.46-3.i586.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libapr0 = 2.0.46 is needed by apache2-2.0.46-3
        apache2 = 2.0.44 is needed by
apache2-devel-2.0.44-38
        apache_mmn_20020903_0 is needed by
apache2-prefork-2.0.44-38
        apache_mmn_20020903_0 is needed by
apache2-mod_perl-1.99_08-29

# rpm -Uvh apache2-devel-2.0.46-3.i586.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        apache2 = 2.0.46 is needed by apache2-devel-2.0.46-3

I know how to manually go, one by one, and install the
necessary packages in order to get around the dependency
problems. But doesn't YasT2 provide a way to automatically
take care of that? That's one of the purposes of using an
auto-install program, so I don't have to worry about the
dependency issues...

Another question, I see a kernel update was downloaded
recently. What is the recommended procedure for upgrading
the kernel? Will the online_update script take care of that
automatically, including any grub changes or do I need to do
something myself?

Thanks for your help.
