The Yum utility failed to install the required packages.

Hello,

We currently receive this error when trying to update via "Updates and Upgrades".

The Yum utility failed to install the required packages.

When we try to do a yum update via CLI, we get the following messages:

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

How do we resolve this problem?

This is happening on all of our Plesk 12.5 servers. Is there a problem with some of these packages in the Plesk repos?

Hi Chris1,

even that this is NO Plesk - related issue, here are some commands, that may help to solve issues with yum:

yum install yum-utils

yum clean all
yum clean metadata
yum check

yum-complete-transaction

package-cleanup --dupes
package-cleanup --cleandupes
