yum upgade/update “Transaction Check Error:”

Today While updating yum on one of Centos server I got the following error :

Error :

———————————————————————————————-
Transaction Check Error:file /usr/share/man/man1/xdelta.1.gz from install of xdelta-1.1.4-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package xdelta-1.1.3-20.i386

Error Summary

———————————————————————————————-

I’ve checked the xdelta package on the server by running the following command :

———————————————————————————————-
[root@server~]# rpm -qa | grep xdelta

xdelta-1.1.3-20

xdelta-1.1.3-20

———————————————————————————————-
I found two pacakages were installed, I tried to remove one xdelta package but I got the error as below :

———————————————————————————————-

[root@server  ~]# rpm –erase xdelta-1.1.3-20

error: “xdelta-1.1.3-20” specifies multiple packages

———————————————————————————————-
I’ve tried following to resolve this by running following commands :

[root@server ~]# rpm -q xdelta

xdelta-1.1.3-20.x86_64

xdelta-1.1.3-20.i386

 

[root@server ~]# rpm -q –qf “%{NAME} %{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %{ARCH} %{VENDOR}\n” xdelta

xdelta 1.1.3 20 x86_64 CentOS

xdelta 1.1.3 20 i386 CentOS

And then removed unwanted rpm by running below command :

———————————————————————————————-
[root@server ~]# rpm -e xdelta-1.1.3-20.i386

———————————————————————————————-

And then again run
[root@server ~]# yum update

 

Its resolved. cheers!!!!!! 🙂 🙂
