yum won't install updates, dependency problem?


I tried to do a yum update on one of my RHEL servers, and it didn't seem to do anything. Here's the end of the long list of output. What should I try doing to fix this?

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

Looks like xen-libs (or a new enough version of xen-libs at least) isn't available in the available repos. Try "yum --enablerepo=\* list *xen-libs*" to see what is available.

oh, so there's nothing actually wrong with my server, it just can't find that one file in the repositories it knows about?
