yum update linux kernel

[mis...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have a problem updating kernel with python code using yum api compiled to binary using pyinstaller (Centos 6.4 64bit). When using pure python version it works. Binary version updates kernel but after reboot that system crashes (kernel panic during boot):

mkdir: error while loading shared libraries: libselinux.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 #1

Here is the python code:

import yum;

updates = ['kernel']

yumb = yum.YumBase()

pl = yumb.doPackageLists('updates')

exactmatch, matched, unmatched = yum.packages.parsePackages(pl.updates,

updates)

yb = yum.YumBase()

yb.doUnlock()

yb.conf.assumeyes = True

for po in exactmatch:

    yb.update(po)

yb.buildTransaction()

yb.processTransaction()

yb.closeRpmDB()

After investigation it appears that the problem is in initramfs img file. Comparing two versions of initramfs shows that the one generated by update started by binary version lacks some shared libs. Here is the list of missing libraries:

libacl.so.1

libacl.so.1.1.0

libattr.so.1

libattr.so.1.1.0

libbz2.so.1

libbz2.so.1.0.4

libcap.so.2

libcap.so.2.16

libgcc_s-4.4.7-20120601.so.1

libgcc_s.so.1

libglib-2.0.so.0

libglib-2.0.so.0.2200.5

libgpg-error.so.0

libgpg-error.so.0.5.0

libpopt.so.0

libpopt.so.0.0.0

libreadline.so.6

libreadline.so.6.0

libselinux.so.1

libtinfo.so.5

libtinfo.so.5.7

Compiling with bbfreeze gives binary which is able to perform update successfully.  However it succeeds only when patchelf is installed and run this way (it is run by bbfreeze):

patchelf --set-rpath '${ORIGIN}:${ORIGIN}/../lib' dist/pyexpat.so

Any suggestions if it is possible to get it working with pyinstaller?
