The error message you're encountering indicates a conflict during the yum update
process, specifically with the libmysqlclient
library. This usually happens when multiple packages are trying to provide the same file.
To resolve this, you have a few options:
-
Check for Conflicting Packages:
-
Use the following command to identify which packages are causing the conflict:
bash
-
-
-
rpm -qa | grep libmysqlclient
-
This will list all packages containing
libmysqlclient
.
-
-
Remove the Conflicting Packages:
-
If you have multiple packages providing the same file, you may need to decide which package you want to keep and remove the others.
-
For example, if you're using MySQL and MariaDB, you might need to choose one and remove the other.
bash
-
-
-
yum remove package_name
-
Make sure to replace
package_name
it with the actual package name causing the conflict.
-
-
Reinstall the Conflicting Packages:
-
If you need both packages, you can try reinstalling the conflicting packages:
bash
-
-
-
yum reinstall package_name
-
Again, replace
package_name
it with the actual package name.
-
-
Use
yum downgrade
:-
If the conflict is due to a newer version being installed, you can use
yum downgrade
to revert to the previous version:bash
-
-
-
yum downgrade package_name
-
Remember to replace
package_name
with the actual package name.
-
-
Resolve Dependencies:
- It's possible that the conflict is due to missing or outdated dependencies. You can try running
yum install -y yum-utils
followed byyum-complete-transaction
to attempt to resolve any outstanding transactions.
- It's possible that the conflict is due to missing or outdated dependencies. You can try running
-
Use
rpm
to Force Install:-
If none of the above solutions work, you can use
rpm
with the--force
option to force install the package:bash
-
-
-
rpm -Uvh --force package.rpm
-
Replace
package.rpm
with the actual package filename.
-
Remember to exercise caution when using the --force
option, as it can potentially lead to further issues if not used carefully. Always back up critical data before making significant changes to your system.
