System no longer updating

[mweller]

CentOS 6.3 x64
WHM 11.36.1.5

Suddenly my system is no longer auto updating. I have attached the full output of a "yum update" command but here are the failing lines:

Running rpm_check_debug
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
httpd-mmn = 20051115 is needed by mod_wsgi-3.2-3.el6.x86_64

I'm not sure why mod_ssl is suddenly complaining about a missing httpd package. My yum.conf shows that mod_ssl and httpd should be excluded anyway (and, I assume, updated by some WHM/cPanel script):

exclude=apache* bind-chroot courier* dovecot* exim* filesystem httpd* mod_ssl* mydns* mysql* nsd* php* proftpd* pure-ftpd* ruby* spamassassin* squirrelmail*

No crazy third-party repos are enabled

I've ran a "yum clean all" but I'm not exactly where to go from here. I just recently took over this server and I'm more of an apt-get guy instead of yum. I'm not sure what other logs/files to include to help troubleshoot this.

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers.

Hello

The primary RPM causing the problem here appears to be:

mod_wsgi-3.2-3.el6.x86_64

This is not a standard RPM that is installed on cPanel servers. Is it required on your system for a custom application? If not, you may want to consider removing the "mod_wsgi" package from your system.

Thank you.

Thanks for the response. I removed mod_wsgi and it successfully updated! The odd thing is that mod_wsgi appears to have been installed on 2011-08-07 and it never had any issues updating until recently. It looks like it was installed at the time the OS was loaded.

Oh well, I'm just glad it's updating again.

Thanks again!
