I’m hoping someone can point me to what is wrong here, I can’t figure it out.

running “yum update” on my C7.6 box I get:

–> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:

1. You have an upgrade for libgpg-error which is missing some
dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
solve this by installing an older version of libgpg-error of the
different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
–exclude libgpg-error.otherarch … this should give you an error
message showing the root cause of the problem.

2. You have multiple architectures of libgpg-error installed, but
yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures.
If you don’t want/need both architectures anymore then you
can remove the one with the missing update and everything
will work.

3. You have duplicate versions of libgpg-error installed already.
You can use “yum check” to get yum show these errors.

…you can also use –setopt=protected_multilib

  • Where are the libgpg-error 1.13-1.el7.CentOS packages coming from? They’re not in CentOS updates (or RHEL updates either).

  • bugzy-keepassxc

    and disabling it solves the problem.

    I’m using the priority plugin, so apparently I didn’t choose a correct value for the bugzy repopriority. If I have more troubles, in the future, from having disabled it, I’ll do a closer study of the priorities.

    thanks for the rap on the head!
