[CentOS] no yum update problems

FWIW this has served me very well when any new update comes out, whether
there is a yum upgrade or not.

yum clean all
yum update yum
yum clean all
yum update

or

yum check-update | more

and make choices later... etc

man yum

can help of course...

I tend to wait until the highest traffic is gone too unless there is
something specific I need bug or security wise.

Also, it is a good idea to make wise use of your yum.conf and specifically
the exclude= area (see below yum.conf file listing)

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
exclude=clam* exim perl* postfix sendmail spamassassin
distroverpkg=centos-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
