yum update error Dependency


hi Guys,
I'm having trouble running yum update. I get this error:

Quote:
Error: initscripts conflicts with 1:redhat-release-server-6Server-6.10.0.12.0.1.el6.x86_64
Error: Package: grep-2.20-6.el6.x86_64 (ol6_latest)
Requires: libpcre.so.0()(64bit)
Available: pcre-7.8-7.el6.x86_64 (ol6_latest)
libpcre.so.0()(64bit)
Installed: pcre-8.32-17.el7.i686 (@RHEL7.5base64)
Not found
I'm having trouble understanding which yum repo to disable or what my next steps are. I think posting my repolist is helpful, so here you go. Any help appreciated!

I have to guess a bit, but from that output it looks like you might have a FrankenBox with software parts from more than one distribution. Sources for different distributions or releases do not always play well together!

... & also el6 and el7 ... !

If it was me, I'd almost certainly backup what I needed and do a clean install of whatever distro I actually wanted, eg Rocky 9.
