CentOS

Today I tried to yum update and got:

These updates were just released a matter of hours ago, so it may be a repo sync issue. I'd do "yum clean all" and try again. Both architectures [i]should[/i] be updated on mult-arch.

In any case these are CentOS 5 updates, so "CentOS 6 - General Support" is the wrong forum. Moving you to CentOS-5.

OT: Please use a narrower window for yum output to avoid [b]long[/b] lines.

I am having the exact same problem. A new update was just released and it will not install. yum clean all doesn't help

Exact same issue, happening on two different servers when compiling apache / php

Both are CentOS 5.7 final

there some diffs in package list between redhat errata [1] and centos errata [2]:

missing in centos x86_64
openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5_7.1.i686.rpm

The i386 update is missing from the master mirror but it's being looked at and should be fixed. I think the x86_64 one has now been removed too which will fix the issue temporarily but doesn't get anyone the update :-) Those changes need to trickle from the master mirror to the others before they'll be visible.

Hmm still getting the same error - anything I should be doing if they have been removed to continue?

Thanks for the update, Trevor. I'm still seeing the issue on CentOS 5.7, but presumably it will stop trying to update soon.

Welcome to the CentOS fora, [b]swinny[/b]. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature, particularly the guidelines on commercial links in signatures. They have been removed from yours.

All - still no resolution to the error from where I sit. As of a few minutes ago [url=http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2012-January/122681.html]this issue[/url] was reported as fixed on IRC #centos-devel so it should propagate to the mirrors soon.

Phil, the 1st fix is wrong and the mirror is now missing the openssl-devel i386 package. Fixed one thing, broke another so the updates still will apply.

Edit: it appears to have been fixed now on the main mirror so if anyone is still having this problem then either your local mirror has not yet updated or you need to run

[code]
yum clean metadata
yum update
