Automated update process fails (yum)

Hey,

I've been having cPanel update issues for the past two months now. yum fails to update some packages. As a workaround I have manually ran yum with --skip-broken function. But its getting annyoing. I've been trying to solve the issue but have not had success. Quite the contrary, I think I broke something more the other day while trying to fix this. As now I get notification about:

Code:

cPanel & WHM failed to update.

Sysup: Needed system RPMs were not installed: libtiff-devel

Manually trying to install that package with yum I get the following (which also is the original error):

Code:

Thanks for the reply!

There were no errors while running yum reinstall libtiff.

"rpm -qa|grep tiff" gives me:

Code:

libtiff-3.9.4-10.el6_5.x86_64

 

Thanks again Michael for your reply.

I get the following errors while trying to install that package:

I probably should do some man on yum as I'm new to RPM's...

Ah well, as it turns out there was a rogue repo added by my server provider for some reason. (nvirt). I did not realize it was a 3rd party repo so didnt pay much attention to it. Removed the repo and things work now as they should. I'll be smarter next time .
