Its the AMI template that is provided by Virtualmin, Its CentOS 5 with Virtualmin.
[root@ip-10-243-43-95:/] yum install GeoIP
Loading “installonlyn” plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do
Sorry, overlooked that part. But here is my guess. The virtualmin guys updated very recently proftpd from 132 to 133 in their repository (it is not a standard centos package). Probably they didn’t test it with their AMI image? Maybe you can exclude proftpd somehow during the update. But I don’t really know what I am talking about, I guess Eric knows more
There could be a missing dependency in regards to the newly available ProFTPd – I’d be curious what “yum search geoip” shows on there.
However, I’m not sure why you wouldn’t be able to access your server after rebooting… are any of the services on your server available? If not, does Amazon provide an interface where you can access the console and see any error output? If so, knowing what errors you’re seeing on the console would be helpful.
Hi yall,
one of the things I’ve found to be helpful when seeing odd output with yum can be caused from repo data being out of sync.
If you see output that wasn’t expected try doing a “yum clean all”, this will clear out cached packages and grab fresh repo data.
I’m sorry that I don’t have anything to offer to help you out, but I was seeing the same problem about a week ago and did the above which allowed the updates to run as expected.

I tested this myself, but couldn’t make it work either. I tried “yum clean all”, but it didn’t help. It doesn’t seem to be possible to update this image. Any ideas how we could update?
Transaction Check Error:
file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog from install of sysklogd-1.4.1-46.el5 conflicts with file from package syslog-ng-1.6.12-1.el5.centos
Transaction Check Error: file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog from install of sysklogd-1.4.1-46.el5 conflicts with file from package syslog-ng-1.6.12-1.el5.cento
by doing this
yum remove syslog-ng
I was able to update everything else besides proftpd
The version of proftpd that was on the image was 1.3.0 I think, it was missing this
“Error: Missing Dependency: libGeoIP.so.1 is needed by package proftpd”
I manually installed the library and it still didn’t work.
