You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

Thanks for any help

PS - I'm using WHM 11.26.16 with CENTOS 5.5 x86_64 xen enterprise pv

Anyone........?

syslinux-4.02-1.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge)

I see that you have (rpmforge) repo also enabled. Do you even need syslinux? You only need it if you're booting your server from an MS-Windows or MS-DOS partition. SYSLINUX is a suite of bootloaders.

You can add it to the exclude line at /etc/yum.conf, and yum won't try to update it anymore.

Actually, there are two packages that would need to be excluded in order to get past the error as two packages were failing--lftp and syslinux. They could both be placed into /etc/yum.conf for the exclude= line and denoted with * so:

exclude=lftp* syslinux*

Then whatever else is already on that line and save the file.

It might be better to resolve the errors instead by installing the missing dependencies, however.

works fine now thanks.

Great to hear

I'm having the same issue, but just with perl(DBI) which is in fact installed but is in the /etc/yum.conf exclude line - should it be? Not sure if cPanel needs to use the latest RPM versions of Perl or its own. Is it OK to download and just do:

rpm -ivh --nodeps lftp-4.0.10-1.el5.rf.x86_64

?

Thanks,
