What were you trying to do?
Update my Athena workstation (private) to Athena 9.4.18
What's wrong:
"update_ws" by itself tells me that my workstation is up to date, but
it's not
"update_ws 9.4.18" often (not always, though!) starts executing. It
does not complete, though, and fails complaining about the perl
RPM. See the below.
What should have happened:
Seamless upgrade
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Here are the contents of my /var/athena/update.log file:
