yum check-update shows Update is broken, or a bad duplicate, skipping


Hello,

I am using RHEL 7 workstation. A recent regular update has left me with difficulty in using my computer. Though I do update the system very frequently, latest one has updated almost 900 packages and and installed a new kernel module also. Unfortunately, I failed to login with latest kernel. After I login with the previous kernel, I noticed that there is a huge difference in the appearance of the desktop, terminal etc. I noticed that a large number of basic packages are updated, including genome, network-manager, Plymouth etc., etc. When I checked the latest updates with command - yum check-update, yum terminated with showing the following messages. Below I just copied few lines from the entire message body, which contain almost 815 similar lines.

I dont know what went wrong here and how theses updates completely changed my system arrangements, even the booting steps. Can anybody please help to figure out the issue here?.

You should report this problem to the owner of the rhel-7-workstation-thirdparty-oracle-java-source-rpms repository.

So. Did you?
(BTW did you ensure using RHEL 7 + EPEL + ELRepo is what Red Hat supports? If you pay for support of course.)

i noticed you have BOTH
* elrepo: mirrors.coreix.net
* epel: anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk
installed
BUT
you did not install and configure "yum-priorites" plugin
this plugin ( when CONFIGURED) can keep incompatible third party rpms from replacing BASE SYSTEM FILES with DIFFERENT versions

please READ the redhat docs on the plugin and using third party repos

Thanks fro the replies. I just noticed that the latest update of RHEL 7 workstation has end-up updating the OS to RHEL 7.2 beta version due to the presence of beta repos in the repolist, which I was not aware of due to lack of experience with linux OS. Please suggest me some safe steps to downgrade the version to previous stable version? Will it be fine if I wait for the next update for these REHEL 'beta' repos?

Many thanks in advance

Since you already "polluted" your RHEL with 3rd party repos I suggest you move to CentOS...
