[Aurora-sparc-user] Questions in regards to yum update

[Jay Clukey]

To list members:

I just recently installed (from scratch) Aurora Linux 2.0 on my Ultra 5. 
I just wanted to start off by saying nice job.

After I built the box. I wanted to install any patches, updates, etc. 
that may have come out after the ISOs were cut so I first updated yum. 
After pointing the repos.d stuff (base, extras, updates, etc) to the 
proper yummified mirror, I ran 'yum update'.

The question that I have (don't know yet if I should be concerned) is 
that I saw several warning messages during the process such as follows:

/usr/sbin/glibc_post_upgrade: While trying to execute 
/usr/sbin/iconvconfig.sparc child terminated abnormally

The above is just an example but I saw several warnings on post and 
pre-install scripts for a particular package. Should I be concerned 
because after the yum process had completed, I checked several packages 
and the versions were all correct (via rpm). Are there any other things 
that I can check to verify that these packages updated/installed properly?

The other question that I have is yum specific. Every time that I run 
yum I see the following error message:

error: Macro % has illegal name (%define)

but I haven't been able to locate the issue. I am using the default yum 
configuration from the scratch 2.0 install; all that I did to change 
things was to point things like base, update, extras to yummified mirror.

As always I appreciate the help in advance. TIA.
