Error: Trying to remove “sangoma-pbx”, which is protected

I can see posts before about this but the solutions seem to be rather specific, so would rather not do anything without advice.

Memory like pudding, but it seems to me that this is the culprit. I don’t remember if you have to remove this or update it, but there’s a step where this ends up being the wrong version and it screws you up.

Downgrade it actually.

yum downgrade kmod-forcedeth

Thanks.

There are several similar lines there. Do all need to be down graded?

I have found other instances of this error and the advice did not contain any general (logical) advice that I feel comfortable applying.

In one of them they advised downgrading the same thing twice!

I believe they are dependencies, so they will automatically downgrade also.

The command will show you everything it will downgrade, and let you say yes or no to continue.

Downgraded as suggested but the other two still came up. So I bit the bullet and done those also.

The upgrade then worked!

Many thanks! Much appreciated.
