Hi,

I tried to run yum update on a CentOS 5.8 OpenVZ host server today and 
something strange happened. Yum tries to update vzctl-core to version 4.0-1, 
which seems to require an updated plop-lib package, but the updated plop-lib 
package from the yum repository requires a kernel  >= 2.6.32 (CentOS 5 runs on 
2.6.18). As a result, the entire update fails. It looks like there are the 
wrong package versions in the yum repository for RHEL/CentOS 5 - or is there 
something else going on?

Best regards,
Holger

PS: full output from yum follows:

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
