yum update not working with bind

[mikelato]

I am having trouble with yum update working with bind. This is happening on my backup DA server not my production one but I cannot seem to figure out why it is happening or how to fix it.

I figured I would try and install the dependencies but that isn't working either, here is the output from yum update...

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

yum -y remove bind-chroot
yum -y install bind

The reason of the problem is that bind-chroot should not install with yum, it should be excluded from yum.

Do what scsi says.

After that, check your /etc/yum.conf because it should contain a part like this:

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
exclude=apache* httpd* mod_* mysql* MySQL* da_* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* bind-chroot*

And as you see bind-chroot* should be in there to be excluded from yum.

Thank you this fixed the problem.

It is strange however that it happened in the first place because my yum.conf already had

bind-chroot*

as an excluded package.

That's strange indeed, it shouldn't have installed then.

I'm glad scsi provided a fix for you.
