Hello @Kemal3535,

It looks like YUM is unable to overwrite multiple system files (e.g. /bin/cat, /bin/find). For example:

Check to see if these files are assigned the immutable attribute with a command such as this:
Code:
lsattr /bin/cat
If so (the output will show the letter "i"), you'll need to remove that attribute so that YUM can overwrite the file. EX:
Code:
chattr -i /bin/cat
You'd need to do this for every file referenced in the errors from the "yum update" output. Additionally, you may want to check with your provider or a system administrator to verify why all of those files were configured with the immutable attribute if that turns out to be the reason why they are not changeable.

Thank you.

İm using easyApache 3 and i tried to easyApache4 but Apache is not working when i upgrade to apache 4 For example : "XID (2hks3ı) "PHP" its not working " error how can i fix it ?

cPanelMichael · Jun 25, 2018

Hello,

You'd face the same issue in EasyApache 4 because YUM will need to update successfully before EasyApache updates will succeed. Can you verify that "yum update" completes successfully?

Thank you.
