Chuckle, seems like the ideal way to do it, but when the package list
is longer than the shells scrollback??????
The worst that will happen if you say
yum update rpm yum
as a separate first step is that you waste some time while it
tells you that you already have the latest versions.
Also if yum destroys itself, at least the rest of the system is
spared. :( Don't laugh Mike, its done that here 6 times on 2
different machines and installs now.
Sometimes I've been able to 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' to
fix a yum-induced problem and sometimes I've had to do the
opposite.
