yum update errors

[ChildOTK]

Good Day,

I was wondering if somebody could please help me with the following problem. For the last several days I have received an error email from a server which states there was errors updating the system.

I tried to manually update using yum update and this is what I get:

Excluding Packages in global exclude list

 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

Can anybody please shed some light?

Thank you!

Thanks, but it didn't work.

 

[arunsv84]

Is this working?

yum update --skip-broken

Cheers!!!

 

[ChildOTK]

I did try that and it did some updates, but when I do the same thing again, i.e. --skip-broken, I get the same error unfortunately.

 

[arunsv84]

Try this...

yum clean all

after that

yum clean metadata

Now run

yum -y update

Cheers!!!

If the above is not working try this as well...

That didn't work either...

When I install that RPM I get:

Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0 from install of MySQL-shared-compat-5.1.49-1.rhel5.x86_64 conflicts with file from package MySQL-shared-5.1.68-0.cloud.x86_64

Edit:

I am not sure why the 'cloud' version is installed, I do have CentOS...so I would imagine the rhel should be the correct one, but several cloud versions appear to be installed...

yum list | grep MySQL
MySQL-client.x86_64                       5.1.68-0.cloud              installed

Okay, so I did this:

yum remove MySQL-shared

Then I retried the rpm installation, and it worked!

I then tried my yum update and it now works perfectly! Everything is up to date now!

Thank you so much for your help arunsv84!
