I am trying to install imapsync on this server, but I am unable to because of several issues (below)


yum install imapsync

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



I haven't been able to figure out what's completely wrong with it i tried almost everything written on the elepel.org and other sites.

As you know RHEL distro does not come with the extra packages (EPEL) per-installed, so you have to install this manually.

I already did. I installed epel-release-6-7.noarch on my CENTOS 6 machine.

[root@centos tmp]# yum repolist

* epel: mirrors.cat.pdx.edu

* updates: mirrors.cat.pdx.edu
repo id repo name status
base CentOS-6 - Base 6,346
elrepo ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository - el6 211
epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - x86_64 7,130
extras CentOS-6 - Extras 4
rpmforge RHEL 6 - RPMforge.net - dag 4,404
updates CentOS-6 - Updates 482
repolist: 18,577



ANY SUGGESTIONS????

stop using epel 5 would be a start. use epel 6 on el6 systems.

You say you installed the epel-6 release? Can you show us the eperl repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d?

I have figured out and resolve this issue. Thank you for your reply.


Solution:


If you found Epel 5 on Centos6 and you don ‘t know what do ?

ANSWER: If they conflict —-then you must remove the exiting version with the correct one.

# yum repolist
base CentOS-6 – Base 6,346
elrepo ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository – el6 211
epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 – x86_64

According to the
Policy for Conflicting Packages

EPEL packages must never conflict with packages in RHEL Base (Including Advanced Platform).

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/G...nesAndPolicies

STEP: 1

Please install: EPEL 6 (below) installation

http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/06/...el-repository/

One you do this you will have to find epel version 5

#cd /etc/yum.repos.d/

You will see two epels ——> epel.repo & epel.repo.rpmnew

you will REMOVE epel.repo

# rm epel.repo

THEN MOVE epel.repo.rpmnew

#mv epel.repo.rpmnew epel.repo
Check that the changes have been made and enter

#yum clean all

# yum update

THEN DONE
