yum update

I just ran "yum update" and confirmed Y[es] to run the updates. I noticed that there was a package in the list called "virtualmin-base.noarch" or something similar.

Is this going to be a problem since I am running Virtualmin pro? Does yum update just update or does it install a bunch of packages that I dont need?

Probably not. But, you could run it from the command line and let yum tell you what it's going to do first.

yum check-update

Will probably do the trick, or just "yum update" in an interactive terminal will ask before it actually updates anything--and show a list of packages to be installed, I think.

But wait...Don't you already have virtualmin-base installed? I haven't rolled an update in ages, so I wouldn't think it would be just now seeing a new version.

If you don't already have virtualmin-base installed (for example if you manually installed your system), you pretty much definitely don't want to install it. It's somewhat disruptive. I wonder why it's offering to install it, if it's not already installed...weird.

I am starting my billing for the few clients i have right now and one large client. So How can I confirm that this has had any positive or negative effect on my system? Will yum try to update Vmin next time too? This would suck if it hosed my install just before I take a bunch of clients live. :-(

Thanks,

Just in case you need this....here is the updated packages:

Howdy,

Do you recall how you installed Virtualmin? Did you use an install.sh script, or did you perhaps extract a tar.gz package then install that?

If I remember correctly, I used the Virtualmin Pro script installer.

You're fine if you used the install script. Updates to virtualmin-base are completely harmless, as long as you're always using RPM packages for everything that we provide (which is true when installed via install.sh).

That big long list of updates is the CentOS 5.1 to 5.2 update, probably. Doesn't have anything to do with Virtualmin, at all...just means you haven't updated your system in a while. You'll want to test things a bit--as you would in any major OS upgrade. We'd recommend you keep things updated more frequently in the future--the more packages you upgrade at once, the more likely trouble will pop up....and if it pops up when there's 100 new versions, you may have very little clue which package is the culprit.
