You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Any idea on a fix? I understand it recommend using a particular command but I'd like to know a little more about how this has happened and what causes it.

 

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply, I managed to skip the broken packages and just update the rest.

This is a standard install of CPanel on Cent OS 7.1 and I've made no changes to the base install.

I'm assuming Linode must use a custom image on their images.

Do you think this could cause issues in the future?
