Issues when running 'sudo yum update'

veeruk101 · 10-19-2011, 03:54 PM

I ran a 'sudo yum update' and there were many packages that needed to be updated. However, I got the following errors, and I'd like to resolve them. Is this maybe some problem with my yum configuration? Your help is much appreciated on this! Thanks.

Code:

$ sudo yum update

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

The EPEL repo is usually not compatible with the Rpmforge repo
so far concerns vlc. ( And some other packages.)

Suggest : Disable the 'epel.repo', if you want to update vlc.

Also : It can be a good idea the exclude vlc from automatic update.
Add a line : exclude=vlc* , to /etc/yum.conf
(The wildcard ( * ) is important. Should not be omitted.)

( Such "specials" can be updated manually : # yum install vlc
Or : # yum update vlc ).

RPM is trying to put together the package for your (update)from repo versions of RPMs that are not interchangeable. It won't work. You need to build a package from RPMs that will work with each other. You can remove Vlc from updates permanently from editing a file or just not update it with arguments form your update command. If Vlc works well with CentOS just be happy and don't concern yourself with updating it. These un-interchangeable repos could cause trouble down the line but I would not worry about it myself. I don't have the info on how to do this in my head but it should not be too hard of a search. CentOS repos are a little tricky.
