Environment
Novell ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management - ZLM7.2
Situation
In a sles 9 sp3 managed zlm 7.2 ir2 device, when applying the SP4 bundle group (created when mirroring updates for sles 9)
it will install older versions of rug and rcd (rug-2.4.9-1.16.3 and rcd-2.4.9-1.20.3).
it will install older versions of rug and rcd (rug-2.4.9-1.16.3 and rcd-2.4.9-1.20.3).
Resolution
This is
happening due to a force install attribute in a sles 9 sp4 patch
(patch-11461), which is mandatory in standard sles 9 devices.
This patch is not needed in a zlm managed device (which already has
an upgraded version of rug
and zmd). In order to overcome this problem this patch must
be filtered out when mirroring the updates for sles 9, specifically
include the following line in your zlmmirror configuration
file:
<ExcludeBundle>patch-11461</ExcludeBundle>
This will stop this patch from ever being mirrored to the zlm server. If the patch has already been mirrored, you'll just need to delete it from ZCC, and subsequent mirroring will not download that patch (as long as you have the above tag specified in your mirror conf file).
<ExcludeBundle>patch-11461</ExcludeBundle>
This will stop this patch from ever being mirrored to the zlm server. If the patch has already been mirrored, you'll just need to delete it from ZCC, and subsequent mirroring will not download that patch (as long as you have the above tag specified in your mirror conf file).
