Pass yum arguments on to vzyum [message #25485]

I am installing something that tells me to issue the following command:

yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade perl

I am doing this in a VE. How do I format the vzyum command to pass that on?

[root@Char ~]# vzyum 114 --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade perl
exec /usr/bin/yum -c /vz/template/centos/4/i386/config/yum.conf --installroot /vz/root/114 --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade perl
not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - 4 is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet

Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: centosplus

First of all, centosplus is already enabled in your repo config, so no need for --enablerepo.

Second, it looks like the problem is in handling of $releasever and $basearch macros -- could you check that by substituting those for 4 and i386, as it is done for other repos in config file?

This problem might be caused by centos-release rpm not installed in an appropriate VE.

I disabled centosplus in the yum.conf so it is enabled only via the command line.

I put 4 and i386 in where needed and it work just fine now.

Do you have centos-release rpm in a VE?

It is a CentOS4 i386 VE on a CentOS5 x64 host.

No, my question is -- do you have a package named 'centos-release' installed in a VE. In other words, what does
vzctl exec NNN rpm -q centos-release
shows?
