[solved] yum Transaction check error with node

[mcheoti]

HI everybody !

Today i tried an update with yum. It looks fine but in the end i got some errors and the update process is not working.

Code: Select all

Transaction check error:
  file /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp from install of npm-1:3.10.10-1.6.9.4.2.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package nodejs-1:4.7.2-1nodesource.el7.centos.x86_64

I checked the forum and found a threat which explains a way it could work in CentOs 6

but unfortunately i am not sure what i have to write in the shell

if i enter, the following i got an error

Code: Select all

yum shell
remove node_modules
No Match for argument: node_modules

Any ideas?
All the best and hope you can help, cheers

Hi,

i think i found the problem. There was another repo which was pointing there.
My solution is now to add the entry in my conf file vim /etc/yum.conf

Code: Select all

exclude=nodejs*

then update, and bingo it works.
PS: btw here is a link which explains my dooing. https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/redhat-ce ... -packages/
