Issues When Updating CentOS 7
Hi all,
I wanted to update my CentOS 7 install this morning and I started getting the errors from below.
Any ideas on a fix?
They seem to be related to cinnamon which I actually don’t use at all
(the machine was prepared by our IT at work and they install both Gnome and Cinnamon by default).
Since I don’t use it, I guess an option would be to remove it altogether and then I will probably not have the update issues anymore. But I would still try to find a proper way to solve this
Thanks in advance!
Here is the output from yum update:

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

Many python3 packages in EPEL were just rebased from python34 to python36, so it’s possible that there’s still some version skew going on that is breaking some other python3 modules that are still based on python34. Try with –skip-broken for now, and if it still has problems, file a bug against xapps.

started>getting the errors from below. Certainly!
The package python34-xapps-overrides-1.0.4-13.el7.x86_64 has been replacedby python36-xapps-overrides-1.0.4-14.el7.x86_64 and yum can’t handle it.Sometimes the problem will be solved within reasonable time but sometimes it’sjust simpler to remove and reinstall some offending package. Just remove xapps (yum remove xapps) and note which packages are removed with it.On my systems these packages were removed:
Packages Altered: Erase python2-xapps-overrides-1.0.4-
13.el7.x86_64 @epel Erase python34-xapps-overrides-1.0.4-
13.el7.x86_64 @epel Erase xapps-1.0.4-
13.el7.x86_64 @epel Erase xed-1.6.2-
3.el7.x86_64 @epel Then reinstall xapps, xed, python2-xapps-overrides andinstall python36-
xapps-overrides like so:
Packages Altered: Install python2-xapps-overrides-1.0.4-
14.el7.x86_64 @epel Install python36-xapps-overrides-1.0.4-
14.el7.x86_64 @epel Install xapps-1.0.4-
14.el7.x86_64 @epel Install xed-1.6.2-
3.el7.x86_64 @epel

Hi,
Many thanks for your answer. I did like you suggested and removed xapps. With it cinnamon got removed and a couple of other packages that I don’t actually need (IT installed cinnamon for me and I don’t use it).
Afterwards in the yum update the resolution phase did succeed, however, afterwards, the transaction check gave a lot of errors, like this:
Transaction check error:

(and a lot more of these).
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks and regards!

You have mixed repostories on the system and that is going to take a lot of work to figure out what you are going to keep and what you aren’t. It looks like you have both EPEL and IUS and they have different versions of python36 in them. You will probably need to exclude on from the update or put in a lot of package excludes in the configs to not look at one set. Here is an example
yum update –exclude=”python36u*”
would then only look at the python from EPEL. vice versa
yum update –excluderepo=epel
would exclude EPEL while updating everything else.
