Introduction

 

Looking closely at the versions involved in an RPM conflict can help you find a resolution.

 

Please keep in mind that the investigation, diagnoses, and resolution of issues caused by RPM conflicts are best handled by a systems administrator with the skills, training, and expertise required to do so for you.

 

Procedure

 

Given the following error:

 

 Error: Package: libcom_err-devel-1.42.9-11.el7.x86_64 (CentOSrepo)
 Requires: libcom_err(x86-64) = 1.42.9-11.el7
 Installed: libcom_err-1.42.9-12.el7_5.x86_64 (@updates)
 libcom_err(x86-64) = 1.42.9-12.el7_5
 Available: libcom_err-1.42.9-11.el7.x86_64 (CentOSrepo)
 libcom_err(x86-64) = 1.42.9-11.el7

 

It may be possible to resolve the conflict by downgrading libcom_err-1.42.9-12 to the required version of libcom_err-1.42.9-11 . 

Then attempt the previous action again.
