Good day,
Apologies if this is the wrong place to report this (or if this is
just
a piece of idiocy on my part).
Recently, I have started getting the following messages with 'yum
update
--security' on some of my Centos 7 installations:
"
================================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository Size
================================================================================
Updating:
dkms noarch 3.0.5-1.el7 epel 59 k
Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Upgrade 1 Package
Updates failed to install with the following error message:
Invalid version flag: or
"
This first occurred in chromium, and now dkms updates.
I have tried upgrading all the yum and rpm packages without any
luck. Some googling shows that the 'or' flag is not (and will not
be) supported by the yum version in Centos 7.
Are the Epel builds indeed now being made with RPM flags not
supported by yum, or is something deeply fubar with my installation?
I have a sneaky feeling something is messed up on my side, or
there would be a lot of similar complaints on the internet, but I
find nothing.
Any feedback/advice would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Justin
I hate to say it's on your side, but I think it is.
I installed an old version of dkms on my centos 7 machine and got the
following
# yum update --security
--> dkms-3.0.2-1.el7.noarch from @/dkms-3.0.2-1.el7.noarch removed
(updateinfo)
--> dkms-3.0.5-1.el7.noarch from epel removed (updateinfo)
No packages needed for security; 1 packages available
Resolving Dependencies
My first guess at the problem is that something got tweaked with
/etc/yum/version-groups.conf
There is a "yum version" command, and that is the file associated with it.
My second guess would be something in /etc/yum/vars/
After that, I'd get desperate and do greps of "or" in all /etc/yum/
/etc/yum.conf and /etc/yum.repos.d/

Oops. 'yum version' on its own returns the same error, so it is not to
do with the package installation.
Sorry for bugging the list with a user error, and thanks for the tips.
Justin
