You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@localhost ~]#


any suggestions on what is causing this and a graceful way to resolve it?

Thanks

Try running "yum makecache fast" then rerunning your update.

I've found that if the makecache hasn't been run yum simply won't find some packages even though they're available in the repositories.

There is no "libstoragemgmt-python-clibs" in EPEL for el7.
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/
In fact there are no packages.el6 at all: You added the wrong epel.repo, I guess.

Right is : # cd Downloads && yum install ./epel-release-7-9.noarch.rpm
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epe...7-9.noarch.rpm

much closer. First makecache didn't work, but then after loading the correct epel library and running makecache afterward, it looks a lot better, but still having an issue. Any new suggestions?

You can track all the alien el6 packages with :

$ rpm -qa | grep el6

I'd have thought it COULDN'T install any el6 packages on el7 but its worth a check. Good catch by knudfl though - I hadn't noticed the el6 in your earlier output.

The error is saying it can't remove package libtracker-sparql-0.16.so.0()(64bit) because another package, netatalk-3.1.7-0.1.el7.centos.x86_64 is dependent on it. It appears to be removing the first package in order to update it.

You could remove netatalk-3.1.7-0.1.el7.centos.x86_64 then run your update again. After that you could try yum install of netatalk (without specifying version) to see if there is a newer one that is satisfied by the newer tracker (or can pull in its own dependencies.)

so rpm -qa didn't find any el6 libraries. I ended up uninstalling netatalk-3.1.7 and everything seems ok. Thank you to everyone for your input and guidance I appreciate the help and quick response. I'm not even sure what netatalk-3.1.7 is or if I need it so unless I have issues, I'll probably leave it uninstalled.
