Hi,

I've come across this error more than once, and never done anything about it and today I thought I would ask on the forum to see if there's a fix. Here's what happens when I try to run a yum update.


=========================
[root@x3430-20648 /]# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@x3430-20648 /]#
=========================


Here's the output of uname -a:

=========================
[root@x3430-20648 /]# uname -a
Linux x3430-20648 2.6.32-042stab059.7 #1 SMP Tue Jul 24 19:12:01 MSK 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@x3430-20648 /]#
=========================

Here's what's in my /boot folder. Why you would need that, I don't know but here it is anyway:

=========================
config-2.6.32-042stab059.7
initrd-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64kdump.img
config-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
symvers-2.6.32-042stab059.7.gz
efi
symvers-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64.gz
grub
System.map-2.6.32-042stab059.7
initramfs-2.6.32-042stab059.7.img System.map-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
initramfs-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64.img vmlinuz-2.6.32-042stab059.7
initrd-2.6.32-042stab059.7kdump.img vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
=========================


Do you know what could be causing the yum update to fail?

Please note: I have tried running rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest and --skip-broken but that hasn't helped. I have also tried to run yum clean all.

Thanks.
