[CentOS] Yum update issues

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:

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

When I check for duplicate packages:

*# package-cleanup --dupes*

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:

** Found 3 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:

<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.
