Hi everyone,

I just upgraded to 5.6 and keep on getting the following error message:

[root at rwjafs1 ~]# yum update

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

A bit of history....  Last time yum update was done on that box,  due to Hyper V issues, kernel crashed.  I now know how to fix it, but back then we just went to a previous kernel version (modified grub.conf), which I believe now causes my current problems.

This box's main responsibility has to do with afs, so installing afs related package is kind of important..

Thank you!
Asya
