yum upgrade errors

Post by amedix » 2017/09/21 09:07:59

Hi,

These are the last lines of an output from my "yum upgrade" command executed on a RedHat 6.4

Code: Select all

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 3 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
MQSeriesServer-U200442-7.5.0-3.x86_64 has missing requires of MQSeriesServer >= ('0', '7.5.0', None)
vmware-tools-libraries-nox-8.6.5-2.x86_64 has missing requires of vmware-tools-foundation >= ('0', '8.6.5', None)
vmware-tools-libraries-x-8.6.5-2.x86_64 has missing requires of vmware-tools-foundation >= ('0', '8.6.5', None)
It's wierd that it requires these 2 packages that are already installed !

elfutils-libs(x86-32) = 0.152-1.el6
elfutils-libelf(x86-32) = 0.152-1.el6


# rpm -qa | grep elfutils
elfutils-libs-0.152-1.el6.i686
elfutils-libelf-0.152-1.el6.x86_64
elfutils-0.152-1.el6.x86_64
elfutils-libelf-devel-0.152-1.el6.i686
elfutils-devel-0.152-1.el6.x86_64
elfutils-libelf-devel-0.152-1.el6.x86_64
elfutils-devel-0.152-1.el6.i686
elfutils-0.152-1.el6.i686
elfutils-libelf-0.152-1.el6.i686
elfutils-libs-0.152-1.el6.x86_64


I've tried with "--skip-broken" option but no luck :-(

I used to fix these kinds of dependencies problems, but I'm stuck with this one.


Thanks in advance.

First this appears to be RHEL not CentOS.

Second you appear to be running 6.4 which is so far out of date that it's not funny.

You need to update to 6.9 ASAP as there are numerous high severity security vulnerabilities present in older versions. since this is RHEL you will need a valid subscription to be able to update to the newer versions. Currently all elf* packages are 0.164-2.el6.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
