Error in YUM or?

[Basher52]

I get this on both servers:

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

so what do I do with this?
I can't find no 'package-cleanup' thing so I might miss if that is some package I need to install

What were you trying to do?

[Basher52]

Just a 'yum update'
I tried the 'package-cleanup --problems' and 'package-cleanup --dupes' but those didn't help.
Have not tried the '--skip-broken' or 'rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest yet'

[Void Main]

The problem is the package called "swig". Do you need that package? What happens when you try to remove it (rpm -e swig)? If nothing depends on it and you can remove it your problem should be solved.

yep that worked, damn you're good

thx again

[Basher52]

I just had this again and this time a module called: ktorrent was having dependency problems, so I removed it and the update worked.

Too bad though that I had to check this post to be able to remember it.
Hopefully I can remember it next time
(if that is within like 6 months or I'll forget it again )

You can always use the exclude flag with yum as well:

$ yum -x <package_name> update/upgrade

I ran into a similar problem with conflicts between lua and mod_security.
