I have had very little problems with yum and it's updates, but this one has me stumped (CentOS 5.4): Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.loosefoot.com * extras: yum.singlehop.com * rpmforge: apt.sw.be * updates: mirrors.cmich.edu Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Bzip2) = 2.024 for package: perl-IO-Compress ---> Package perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2.i386 0:2.037-1.el5.rf set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.024 for package: perl-IO-Compress ---> Package perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib.i386 0:2.037-1.el5.rf set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.024 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch (installed) perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Bzip2) = 2.024 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Bzip2) = 2.024 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.024 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch (installed) 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 Is this some sort of perl install/update requirement?
