YUM update with RHN classic on Red Hat 7.0

mikenash · 03-01-2017, 03:28 PM

I am looking to update Red Hat 7.0 and not update to Red Hat 7.3.
I have tried yum --releasever=7.0 update but this updates me to Red Hat 7.3. I installed versionlock but this has not work either. The versionlock plugin has a --releasever parameter but it states to update yum config. I am not sure how to do this.

Code:

 --releasever=RELEASEVER
                        set value of $releasever in yum config and repo files

Any solutions or suggestions?

Yes. Very typical question. Login to Redhat and view their documentation on it: https://access.redhat.com/discussions/685843

You can also contact RedHat support and ask them about this.

Thank you szboardstretcher. I have tried solution #2 using versionlock with the --releasever option but without success. When I tried solution #1 and update the /etc/yum.conf with "exclude=redhat-release* kernel*" (without the quotes) I receive the following error.

Error: unbound-libs conflicts with redhat-release-server-7.0-1.el7.s390x
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I do not like the suggested options to fix this.
