Hello all,

When running yum update on a few of our servers, we get the following errors:

And if I try and run yum update again, I get the following:

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem

When I check for duplicate packages:

I then run package-cleanup –cleandupes and get the following:

So I then run:

yum install kmod-ixgbe-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.x86_64

Only after cleaning the duplicates, and installing kmod-ixgbe, can I *then* run yum update -y, and it succeeds.

It’s extremely annoying because the above error is preventing cPanel updates from completing nightly (until I do the above), and I would love to know why this is suddenly happening on so many servers, for seemingly no reason.

Thanks in advance.
