I've been using CentOS 6.5 as my OS for quite a while. Usually I don't have many problems with Linux installations, but as they new CentOS 6.6 was released I found myself in a bit of a problem. There were hundred of updates to be done, but only one turned out to be problematic. If I input the command yum update I get

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

Now, I know that often these sort of conflicts come from updates from different repos, but this is my current repo list

  1. adobe-linux-i386 Adobe Systems Incorporated
  2. base CentOS-6 - Base
  3. epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - i386
  4. extras CentOS-6 - Extras
  5. google-chrome google-chrome
  6. spideroak-stable SpiderOak Stable Distribution
  7. updates CentOS-6 - Updates
    And the weird thing is that it seems that the conflicting packages not only come from the same repository, but are actually dependencies! xcb-util in fact asks me to install xcb-util-image and xcb-util-keysyms as dependencies..and then conflicts with them! The current version of xcb-util does not have these other two dependencies installed, and says that Source RPM: xcb-util-0.3.6-1.el6.sr. This is a bit weird. Has anyone met this problem? Many thanks, and I hope I provided enough information.

Problem is qt5 from epel, I removed it and upgrade without problem. There is already fixed qt5 in epel-testing: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2014-3484/qt5-qtbase-5.3.2-3.el6

  • This seemed to have worked very well. I'll wait until qt5 comes out of testing before re-installing it. Oct 30, 2014 at 12:18

Enable only by default centos repo and disable other repo then run the commands

  1. yum clean all
  2. yum update all
