Hi All,

I had this recently when I did ctrl-c in the middle of a long 'yum -y
update'
and was left with 161 duplicate packages and a feeling of deep regret....

i had to write script to do

rpm -e <packag> --nodeps

on a list of the duplicate packages. The system is now fully
functional again
and I have learnt my lesson!

Couldn't yum-complete-transaction (from the yum-utils package) help you
clean up this?  At least let it complete and then clean up the packages
you don't need/want afterwards.  This should (in theory at least) do the
same thing in a more safe and controlled manner.


kind regards,

David Sommerseth

    Read that article. There's an option in yum that can turn on/off that
    behavior in RHEL6 and clones.

                                      Hi All,

                                      Yum is giving me a error I don't
know
                    how to handle:

                                      # yum --skip-broken upgrade
                                      ...
                                      Error: Protected multilib versions:
                                 sqlite-3.6.23.1-0.3.el6.x86_64
                                      != sqlite-3.6.20-1.el6.i686
                                      Error: Protected multilib versions:
                                 raptor-1.4.21-0.10.el6.x86_64 !=

raptor-1.4.18-5.el6_2.1.x86_______64\


                                      What is a "Protected multilib
version"?
                    And, how do I
                                      fix it?

                                      Many thanks,
                                      -T

                             You likely have multiple versions
installed, and
                    need to yum
                             remove the
                             older one (assuming that's the one you
want removed).


                         Hi Jamie,

                         # rpm -qa sqlite\*
                         sqlite-3.6.20-1.el6.i686
                         sqlite-3.6.20-1.el6.x86_64

                         When I tried to remove sqlite, oh holy molly:
