Hello all,

When running yum update on a few of our servers, we get the following errors:

And if I try and run yum update again, I get the following:

<snip> --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: cagefs conflicts with liblve-1.3-1.10.el6.cloudlinux.x86_64 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem ** Found 8 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: kernel-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.x86_64 has missing requires of kmod-ixgbe-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.x86_64 kernel-debug-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.x86_64 has missing requires of kmod-ixgbe-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.x86_64.debug kernel-firmware-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.noarch is a duplicate with kernel-firmware-2.6.32-604.30.3.lve1.3.63.el6.noarch kmod-lve-1.4-3.1.el6.x86_64 is a duplicate with kmod-lve-1.3-11.1.el6.x86_64 liblve-1.4-1.3.el6.cloudlinux.x86_64 is a duplicate with liblve-1.3-1.10.el6.cloudlinux.x86_64 lve-1.4-1.3.el6.cloudlinux.x86_64 is a duplicate with lve-1.3-1.10.el6.cloudlinux.x86_64 openssl-1.0.1e-42.el6_7.4.x86_64 is a duplicate with openssl-1.0.1e-42.el6_7.2.x86_64 postgresql-libs-8.4.20-5.el6_7.cloudlinux.x86_64 is a duplicate with postgresql-libs-8.4.20-4.el6_7.cloudlinux.x86_64

When I check for duplicate packages:

*# package-cleanup --dupes* Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin lve-1.4-1.3.el6.cloudlinux.x86_64 lve-1.3-1.10.el6.cloudlinux.x86_64 postgresql-libs-8.4.20-5.el6_7.cloudlinux.x86_64 postgresql-libs-8.4.20-4.el6_7.cloudlinux.x86_64 kmod-lve-1.4-3.1.el6.x86_64 kmod-lve-1.3-11.1.el6.x86_64 liblve-1.4-1.3.el6.cloudlinux.x86_64 liblve-1.3-1.10.el6.cloudlinux.x86_64 openssl-1.0.1e-42.el6_7.4.x86_64 openssl-1.0.1e-42.el6_7.2.x86_64

I then run package-cleanup --cleandupes and get the following:

<snip> Running Transaction ** Found 3 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: kernel-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.x86_64 has missing requires of kmod-ixgbe-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.x86_64 kernel-debug-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.x86_64 has missing requires of kmod-ixgbe-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.x86_64.debug kernel-firmware-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.noarch is a duplicate with kernel-firmware-2.6.32-604.30.3.lve1.3.63.el6.noarch <snip>

So I then run:

yum install kmod-ixgbe-2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.x86_64

Only after cleaning the duplicates, and installing kmod-ixgbe, can I *then* run yum update -y, and it succeeds.

It's extremely annoying because the above error is preventing cPanel updates from completing nightly (until I do the above), and I would love to know why this is suddenly happening on so many servers, for seemingly no reason.

Thanks in advance.
