[users] yum update failed

Today,CentOS released 6.3,so I want to update and see the new
features.But Imet some problems.

--> Processing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.052 for

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
--> Running transaction check
---> Package kernel.i686 0:2.6.32-220.4.2.el6 will be erased

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Aanybody can help me?

So you have RFX enabled by default in spite of general advice of not
doing so unless you are totally convinced you know what the implications
are going to be? RFX is only meant to cherry-pick the packages from...

That doesn't look like a complete output of "yum update".
There should be an "Error" line before the "You could try" line.
That "Error" line will tell you what the actual problem is.
If you still need help, please post the complete error message.

[Christopher Meng]

Ok.

So as I said, you have RFX enabled by default. Why do you have it
enabled by default? What do you need it for?

In this particular case, upstream added an epoch to
perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib, so dependencies can no longer be satisfied if
you upgrade.

The solution is to roll back RFXed packages to the upstream ones, if you
have no specific reason to upgrade them. If you do have such a reason,
please tell, but either way, if you use RFX, you should know how to
block the packages that you need from being upgraded.

How it can be fixed at RFX end is yet to be investigated. Unfortunately,
perl-IO-Compress and friends have always been a PITA...

Try the two lines with yum update first. If that works with error
continue and edit the CentOS-Base.repo file. Also make sure that you
understand what these fixes are doing on your system before you apply them.

yum update perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib --disablerepo=base
yum update

Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and add an exclude line
[base]
exclude=perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib
:
[updates]
exclude=perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib

After these modifications you should be able to run yum update without
issues on perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib

The should of course read "... works withOUT error ..."

Also make sure that you understand what these fixes are doing on your

Read this as if it were written in 72pt red bold font.

I didn't previously give any commands to try specifically because my
earlier questions were not answered and hence I have doubts that this
understanding is there.

[Christopher Meng]

Anyway,thanks everyone.

I just wonder whether it should be fixed or not.

Hi,

This still seems to be broken.

And yes, I'm cherry picking, but I have "perl-*" from rfx

Fix really can't be put perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib from base and updates
to permanent exclude?

Ideally, as I said, the changes by Red Hat need to be inspected and most
probably we will have to add an epoch to our packages too :-/ I'm afraid
I can't help beyond suggesting to open a Github issue if it's not there
already...
