=====Troubleshooting when yum install is broken=====
 +
 +
If yum is broken, then it's obviously not possible to use yum to do updates (to yum).
 +
If you are unable to install the sqlite and smeserver-yum packages with yum as per the above instructions, then you will need to manually download the packages & (dependency packages) & install them from the local machine using rpm -Uvh.
 +
You might receive this type of error when manually updating packages:
 +
rpm -Uvh sqlite* python-sqlite* smeserver-yum*
 +
error: Failed dependencies:
 +
yum-plugin-fastestmirror is needed by
 +
smeserver-yum-1.2.0-37.el4.sme.noarch
 +
 +
This indicates you also need to download the dependency rpm, in this case yum-plugin-fastestmirror.
 +
 +
Manually download ALL the required packages to an empty folder, eg from
 +
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/ then do:
 +
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
 +
signal-event post-upgrade
 +
reboot
 +
 +
Then continue on with the normal yum update process
 +
yum update
 +
signal-event post-upgrade
 +
reboot
