yum update error: Error: pkgKey 4157 doesn't exist in repo base

[nobaloney]

Trying to update from CentOS 5.3; yum update returns this error:

Error: pkgKey 4157 doesn't exist in repo base

I tried the workarounds which come with the error message:

Error: pkgKey 4157 doesn't exist in repo base
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Can't find anything with Google; anyone have any ideas for a workaround?

Never seen this error before. Try and disable all extra repos (such as epel, dag, forge, etc), and leave only base one. And check it again with yum

 

[NoBaloney2]

No extra repos were ever added. Any other ideas?

I found the following commands via Google you could ltry. Maybe you tried already, but it's not mentioned in your post so here they are:

yum clean all

and after that:

yum clean metadata

Hope it will do some good.

oh greetings greetz greet gree

Is that a confirmation that it worked for you Scsi?

 

[NoBaloney2]

I think SCSI runs FreeBSD, though I'm not sure.

But I can confirm that this fixes the problem for me.

Thanks, Richard!

@Richard G

I guess, it makes user scsi happy when he sees word "Greetings" and any forms of it anywhere here)))

@Jeff

That's good, you've managed to sort the things out.

 

[NoBaloney2]

No, Richard G sorted it out; I just implemented it .
