Migration from Red Hat™ 7.2 to Lineox™ Enterprise Linux 2.1
Migration from any of the 7.x Red Hat™ versions other than 7.3 to Lineox™ Enterprise Linux 2.1
should be quite easy and painless. The easiest is 7.2. Red Hat™ 7.2 is no longer supported,
but Lineox™ Enterprise Linux 2.1 has still many years of support left in the form of
security and bug fix packages.
The method described here can be used even over the network and
the upgraded system may be in other city, country or continent. The other advantage is
the greater control than with using normal graphical installation program, which tries to
hide all the pesky details, which may cause problems later. The disadvantage is the
greater expertise needed to understand what is happening and should be done if all doesn't go
as described below.

Upgrade or Update?

The big leap, apt-get dist-upgrade
Installing a new kernel
Removing packages not found in LEL 2.1
Adding packages not found in Red Hat 7.2
Upgrade or Update?
By upgrade we mean a major or distribution wide replacement of program
packages. Updates replace single or small number of packages and version
number growth is minor.
As we later see, about one third of the packages in
Red Hat™ 7.2 and Lineox™ Enterprise Linux 2.1 are the same. This
means that many of the updated packages made for Lineox™ Enterprise Linux 2.1
can be installed on Red Hat™ 7.2 without the need for updating other
packages.
If you are admistering, for example, a Red Hat™ 7.2 server with a limited set of services
and you trust your local users, you could update only those server program
packages in use, that have remotely exploitable vulnerabilities. In these kind of cases there
are very good chances, that those packages don't need any other package updates.
If you are uncertain about whether to upgrade or update, check first from
The enterprise-watch-list Archives what
packages you should update, update those and
if it looks like they don't need any other packages because of dependencies,
be happy and leave it at that. If there are, for example, tens of packages,
that should be updated, you should consider distribution upgrade because
you might avoid repetitive troubles in the future. But the choice is yours!
Assumptions
This HOWTO assumes that you have a fresh and full installation of Red Hat™ 7.2,
but without support for local languages. Your installation most probably is different,
but you should be able quite easily to adapt these instructions to your situation.
Because in this example we have full installation and no updates, upgrade to
Lineox™ Enterprise Linux 2.1 upgrades more packages than any other scenario
and covers all the possible problems other than the ones with packages outside of
the distribution.
The second assumption is that you have Always Current Lineox™ Enterprise Linux 2.1.007
DVD. DVD is a little easier and faster than handling multiple CDs, but later in this
documentation there are notes if you have to do something extra to upgrade from CDs.
Preparations
First you should install apt-get to get the rest of packages. apt-get however needs
some updates. Mount the Always Current Lineox™ Enterprise Linux 2.1.007 DVD
and go to the RedHat/RPMS directory and then:
# rpm -U rpm-*4.0.4-7x.20*.rpm popt-1.6.4-7x.20.i386.rpm gnorpm-0.96-12.7x.i386.rpm \
kdeadmin-2.2.2-4.i386.rpm rpm2html-1.7-3.9.i386.rpm rpmfind-1.7-4.9.i386.rpm
Note
If you have CD disks, the easiest way to avoid problems when you install or upgrade
multiple packages is to create a temporary directory and copy all the rpm packages from
all the disks to it. Use this temporary directory instead of rpm directory on DVD from now on.
Hint
You don't have to type all those long package names, just type or copy-paste the beginning, hit
Tab and bash automatically completes the rest of the file name. If there are multiple possible
completitions, bash completes as much as it can, and displays the possible choices if you hit Tab twice.
Now you can install apt-get:
rpm -i apt-0.5.15cnc6-2.lel.i386.rpm
Before apt-get can do the distribution upgrade, you must register your DVD disk or CD disks:
# apt-cdrom add
Using CD-ROM mount point /mnt/cdrom/
Unmounting CD-ROM
Please insert a Disc in the drive and press enter

Source List entries for this Disc are:
rpm cdrom: [LEL 2.1.007]/ RedHat os
Repeat this process for the rest of the CDs in your set.
Before continuing, you should check that there are no conflicts between
currently installed packages or other problems:
# apt-get check
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gated: Obsoletes: zebra but 0.91a-6 is installed
zebra: Obsoletes: gated but 3.6-12 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
To correct the problem, we decide to remove zebra:
# rpm -e zebra
The big leap, apt-get dist-upgrade
Now we are ready to do the big leap. Note that the listing is abbreviated. The

E: Error while running transaction
So we have to solve this problem by hand before the upgrade can be made:
# mount /mnt/cdrom/
# cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
# rpm -U kdebase-2.2.2-11.i386.rpm gnome-core-1.4.0.4-39.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
kdelibs >= 2.2.2 is needed by kdebase-2.2.2-11
kdelibs-sound >= 2.2.2 is needed by kdebase-2.2.2-11
kdebase = 2.2-12 is needed by kdebase-devel-2.2-12
Need to add some packages.. Note that lilo and grub have the same versions in RH 7.2 and LEL 2.1, so
we omitted them.
# rpm -U kdebase-2.2.2-11.i386.rpm gnome-core-1.4.0.4-39.i386.rpm \
kdelibs-* kdebase-devel-2.2.2-11.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
arts = 2.2.2-13 is needed by kdelibs-sound-2.2.2-13
And one more..
# rpm -U kdebase-2.2.2-11.i386.rpm gnome-core-1.4.0.4-39.i386.rpm \
kdelibs-* kdebase-devel-2.2.2-11.i386.rpm arts-2.2.2-13.i386.rpm
Now we can force redhat-logos upgrade, so it won't disturb apt-get:
# rpm -U --force redhat-logos-1.1.14.3-1.noarch.rpm
# cd
# umount /mnt/cdrom/
And now with better luck:
# apt-get dist-upgrade

Done.
The listing above is shortened with "..." lines marking omissions. Note that not all the warning lines
are shown. If you are certain that you have not edited the configuration files you get warning about,
you can copy the .rpmnew files over the originals. Otherwise you should edit them by hand and
review the documentation about possible configuration file format changes.
Installing a new kernel
apt-get doesn't install new kernel, we have to do that by hand. We want to keep the old kernel
for a while, so we don't upgrade it, we use "rpm -i" to install the new one. Note that there are
different kernels for different architectures. When we later
are sure that the old kernel is no longer needed, we can remove it with "rpm -e kernel-2.4.7-10".
After installing the new kernel, we upgrade kernel-doc, kernel-headers, and kernel-source packages.
# mount /mnt/cdrom/
# cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
# rpm -i kernel-2.4.9-e.49.i686.rpm
# rpm -U kernel-doc-2.4.9-e.49.i386.rpm kernel-headers-2.4.9-e.49.i386.rpm \
kernel-source-2.4.9-e.49.i386.rpm
Removing packages not found in LEL 2.1
Because we had a full Red Hat 7.2 installation as a starting point, we should check if there are
some packages which are missing from LEL 2.1. These packages may become a security risk because
there will be no updated packages for them. In the first phase we check which packages are left
from the Red Hat 7.2 installation.
# for i in `rpm -qa` ; do rpm -q --queryformat=%{BUILDHOST} $i | \
grep ".redhat.com" > /dev/null && echo $i ; done > ~/rhorig
# wc ~/rhorig
440 440 7983 /root/rhorig
# ls *.rpm | wc
1230 1230 35894
As we saw, 440 packages are left from the original Red Hat 7.2 and LEL 2.1.007 has 1230 packages.
So about one third of the packages are the same in Red Hat 7.2 and LEL 2.1.007.
Next phase is to check which Red Hat 7.2 packages are not in LEL 2.1.007.
# for i in `cat ~/rhorig` ; do if [ ! -f $i* ] ; then echo $i ; fi ; done

Adding packages not found in Red Hat 7.2
Now that we have erased packages from Red Hat 7.2 not found in LEL 2.1, what about
packages in LEL 2.1 that were added and not found in Red Hat 7.2? First, one statistical detail,
how many packages are installed:
# rpm -qa | wc
1074 1074 21027
As we earlier saw, LEL 2.1 has 1230 packages. Now the command line, which lists the added
packages and also writes the list to a file, which we can later edit:
# for i in *.rpm ; do rpm -q rpm -qp --queryformat=%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} \

In the list above there are many packages you probably don't want to add. There are local
language support files, asian character set support files and programs, hardware specific
files of XFree86 and kernel. When those are removed, the list looks like below. If you
would like to omit just the packages that could do harm and don't mind disk usage, just
remove all the XFree86, kernel packages, and gated because it conflicts with zebra.

Now we can try to install the packages specified in the edited list:
rpm -U `cat ~/added`
But there are some problems left:
package rpmdb-redhat-7.2-0.20010924 (which is newer than
rpmdb-redhat-2.1AS-0.20040831) is already installed

redhat-config-network-1.0.6-0.AS21.1
Packages bcm5820-1.17-6 and hwcrypto-1.0-3 conflict, but because both are support packages for
hardware cryptocraphic accelerators, you probably don't want either. Package rp3 is obsoleted by
redhat-config-network-1.0.6-0.AS21.1, so it shouldn't be installed. What is left is redhat-release-as-2.1AS-4
and rpmdb-redhat-2.1AS-0.20040831. We have to use --force with them, because 7.2 is seemingly newer.
We remove bcm5820-1.17-6 and rp3-1.1.10-3 from the list and try again with:
# rpm -U --force `cat ~/added`
Lets do again a check that there are no problems in our installation and check how many
packages we have:
# apt-get check
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
# rpm -qa | wc
1111 1111 21866
So everything looks good and the upgrade is complete. To keep the system up to date
you should check the page http://www.lineox.com/lel21updates.php
and run "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" regularly.
