When running a yum update on a RedHat 5.11 server recently, I was very surprised to see 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

I don't know how this has happened, and I haven't been able to find any way to fix this so far, and that includes the suggestions in the above message. The plugins on the server seem to be working just fine.

Has anyone else come across this, and do you have a solution please?

You can try and clean out the yum cache by running this. Sometimes they need to be cleaned out because the repo's are changed and the updates didn't download.

Code: Select all

yum clean all

Then try and and then do update update and see if that works.
