I have been for years adminstering several Debian servers. I'm not real familiar with RedHat.

I recentely purchased a VPS from ev1. I am curious how i can safely keep the system up to date without breaking plesk. Here is what up2date says (just got the server)

There was a package dependency problem. The message was:

No idea where I can find the "jmxri" package. Nothing is available ffor RHEL3 on rpmfind.net.

I have this problem to, which I also believe is releated to me not being able to update plesk to version 8 without it breaking.

Have you tried using 'vzup2date' instead? That's the preferred way to update packages on a Virtuzzo server

not anymore, I believe in older virtuozzo versions it was vzup2date, but it later came back to up2date.

after looking around I see alot of jmxri/mx4j results. Just for peace of mind...

try "up2date mx4j" and see if that fixes the problem otherwise, till the problem is fixed, just add the dependencies to the exclude list

cPanel (latest release) has up2date run every night or so on my servers.

hi

when i type up2date -u it do not updates all packages shown in the list. however if i try to update one by one it works just fine. Can you suggest how to update all with 1 command?

thanks.

You probably should have started a new thread for this.

when you run up2date -u right before it ends... what is the exact error you are seeing.

by the way, contrary to my previous post, vzup2date is used on the hardware node. It can be used by typing vzup2date -t on the hardware node to apply it to the OS templates. But each individual VPS uses up2date NOT vzup2date.
