If you encounter problems with packages having broken dependencies when upgrading your system using the yum
package manager on a CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) system, you can try using the --skip-broken
option to skip the problematic packages and continue with the upgrade.
For example, to upgrade all packages and skip any packages that have broken dependencies, you can run the following command:
sudo yum upgrade --skip-broken
This will upgrade all packages that do not have broken dependencies and skip any packages that have broken dependencies.
Note: Skipping packages with broken dependencies can leave your system in an unstable state and cause issues with other packages that depend on them. It is a good idea to resolve the broken dependencies before upgrading the packages. You can try to fix the broken dependencies by installing the missing packages or by resolving any conflicts between the packages.
Note: It is a good idea to make a backup of any important data before upgrading the packages, as there is a risk of data loss or corruption during the upgrade process. It is also a good idea to test the upgrades in a staging environment before deploying them in a production environment.
