[SOLVED] Problem with Yum

kulpreet11 · 08-21-2014, 12:27 AM

Hi,

When i try to install anything using yum then it processes all the information regarding the package and in the last gives out plenty of errors of missing dependencies.

I tried running yum update command to update the system but again it gives the error of missing dependencies.

Is there any way i can skip these dependencies or fix this issue with yum.

Please suggest.

Thanks
Kulpreet

Hi,

no one will be able to help you if you don't provide more information. For starters, what OS is this and what *exactly* are the errors being reported by yum.

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
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

I hope this explains you the issue.

Thanks

cent 5

that is starting to show it's age
The ONLY !!! version in 5 that is supported is 5.10

Code:

cat /etc/redhat-release

will tell you what it is

as to errors
did you install PRIOR to this "yum-utils"

that error is telling you to use software in that package
SEE:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/yum-utils

now it is is CentOS 5.10
then you can also try the normal " first thing to try "

Code:

su -
yum clean all
rpm --rebuilddb
yum update

also what third party repos are installed ?
5 has a VERY BIG !!!! problem with them being INCOMPATIBLE
to check please post the output of this

Code:

su -
yum repolist all

Thanks everyone.

The issue is resolved now as i found issue with the repo of yum so i installed rpmforge and pointed yum to take the package from there.

John VV · 08-21-2014, 01:18 PM

did you also install "yum-protectbase" or "yum-priorities"
and CONFIGURE THEM!!!!!!!!
rpmforge is KNOWN!!!! to be incompatible with cent5 !!!
it WILL REPLACE SYSTEM FILES !!!!

this is a KNOWN PROBLEM IN 5 !!!!!!
