Hi,

Hello

Please ensure that your system package manager (YUM) is able to successfully update. EX:

# yum update

Do you receive any errors when updating or installing packages with YUM?

Thank you.

 

[milcman]

Thanks...

No I was not able to do a yum update. Had basically the same error as above.

I had logged it with my VPS provider and the issue has now been sorted.

It turns out that there was a 2nd instance of the glibc files installed on the VPS. The duplicate file was removed and now the cpanel update is working fine.

Not sure how/why there was a 2nd instance but appears all is working again,

Thank you.

Hello, We have the same problem for updating cpanel from 11.34 to 11.36

[20130406.183224]          cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
[20130406.183224]          pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:
[20130406.183224]
[20130406.183224]            1. You have an upgrade for libaio which is missing some
[20130406.183224]               dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
[20130406.183224]               solve this by installing an older version of libaio of the
[20130406.183224]               different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
[20130406.183224]               yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
[20130406.183224]               requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
[20130406.183224]               --exclude libaio.otherarch ... this should give you an error
[20130406.183224]               message showing the root cause of the problem.
[20130406.183224]
[20130406.183224]            2. You have multiple architectures of libaio installed, but
[20130406.183224]               yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.
[20130406.183224]               If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
[20130406.183224]               can remove the one with the missing update and everything
[20130406.183224]               will work.
[20130406.183224]
[20130406.183224]            3. You have duplicate versions of libaio installed already.
[20130406.183224]               You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.
[20130406.183224]
[20130406.183224]          ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
[20130406.183224]          this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
[20130406.183224]          do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
[20130406.183224]          much more problems).

[20130406.183224]          Protected multilib versions: libaio-0.3.107-10.el6.i686 != libaio-0.3.109-2.fc13.x86_64

problem solved with manually installing and removing these rpms

specially libiao

Kind of an old thread but found it due to the same problem. Fixed by disabling a repo recently installed by cpanel itself after installing postgresql :
