System Update Failing

[waldrondigital (Mike Waldron)]

Went to update a client’s SNG7/14, which I keep updated on a bi-weekly basis, and received the following error on yum update (or yum upgrade)

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

This error doesn’t occur on my own identical system on Vultr. I rebooted the target system and the same error occured. This is a VMware VM running on a Dell PowerEdge T610.

Just wondering how I should proceed here.

A very quick Google search revealed:

Yum update gives errors

Hello. I’m trying to update my freepbx installation via commandline. Here is what i get: --> Running transaction check ---> Package libmnl.x86_64 0:1.0.2-3.el6 will be installed ---> Package libresample.x86_64 0:0.1.3-11_centos6 will be updated --> Processing Dependency: libresample.so.1.0()(64bit) for package: asterisk13-core-13.5.0-1.shmz65.1.78.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: asterisk13-core-13.5.0-1.shmz65.1.78.x86_64 (@pbx) Requires: libresample.so.1.0…

Does that help?

[waldrondigital (Mike Waldron)]

Thanks for the reply. I have never had to work around a yum update with FreePBX, and I’m concerned that a --skip-broken might “break” something.

Full disclosure, this was an ISO install, plain vanilla.

The link you provided seems to reference an upgrade, and is from 2015 (FreePBX 13 I imagine).

Sorry, I should have been more clear. If you follow the thread to Andrew’s answer, it leads back to documentation for SNG7.

https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/PPS/Upgrading+SNG7+PBX+to+latest+SNG7+Version

Long and short, Sangoma is recommending you use the published update methods. Can you confirm if you’ve tried this and if it helps?

[waldrondigital (Mike Waldron)]

The prescribed method is exactly what I did. Update modules, reload, and then yum update. So yes, I did it to the letter. And I have many systems out there, and I’ve done this many times before. This is the first time I’ve seen a failure.

Note I’m not trying to do a major version upgrade or anything, just trying to update the ISO installed SNG7/FPBX14. This system was last updated a week or so ago.

Fixed it.

yum clean all
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*
