Yum update failing

Distro Discussion & Help

I am typing yum clean all and then yum update. The detail of the failure follows:

—> Package yaml-cpp.x86_64 1:0.5.1-2.el7 will be an update

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

I saw this on another ticket and we are having the same problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Regards!

I have the same issue on 5 machines… all others are fine.

First, run your update without letting it update the kernel.

yum update --exclude=kernel*

If that works, then run again without the exclusion.

yum update

I suspect you willhave to selectively downgrade or remove some things to get everything working.
