YUM update error

[scrummie02]

I'm trying to run yum update and I'm seeing the following error:
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch from rpmforge has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.024 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch (rpmforge)
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.024 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch (rpmforge)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


has anyone been running into this? Thanks.

You should have all foreign repos disabled unless you are specifically installing a package from them.
Disable rpmforge.

Please read:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/vie ... p?forum=47
Pay special attention to "Installing Software" and yum priorities.

Welcome to CentOS.

If you do want to update RPMforge packages, you need to look at your repo configs to see if packages are being excluded, either explicitly with exclude=, or by not being on includepkg= directives, or as a result of yum priorities.

It might help to show the entire yum output if not excessively long.

I have the exact same problem:

I have yum priorities installed and it does not seem to be working.

Dude, it's the SAME EXACT ERROR, why would I make a new thread?

Because it is the forum rule.
You can open a thread without any charge , it's free.

At least part of your posted output shows the same messages, but we do not have sufficient information to know if the repo configs are identical as the OP never shared that information. In any case, it is best to start a new thread to get your problem the attention it deserves, rather than appending to a stale thread where it may not be seen by those not following the old thread, and it's the rule: "Firstly, post your own thread - do not hijack someone else's thread, even if you think your question is related."

Since I'm replying already, I'd try disabling epel, as you have it at a higher priority than RPMforge, and it is known not to play nicely with other repos.

Code: Select all

yum --disablerepo=epel update

If that doesn't help, please start a new topic.

[rbrogers]

It looks like this is hanging because 2.0.24-1 is installed instead of 2.0.24? (I could be wrong)

What I did to get around this was downgrade perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2 and then upgrade to the latest version to jump over the 2.0.24-1 release issue. The downgrade process may prompt to remove some dependant packages, if you're able to, go ahead, you can install them afterwards.

Complete!


Then reinstall the dependant packages you may have removed earlier.

Hope this helps!

I found it was caused by perl-IO-Compress being renamed to perl-IO-Compress-Base. I removed perl-IO-Compress and -Zlib and then reinstalled the latter and it pulled in the new dependencies.
