!rhel-7-workstation-rpms/7Workstation/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 W 18,970
repolist: 23,637

Any suggestions?

Hi Omar,

The main problem is that you seem to use the base repository of RHEL 7.1, you should upgrade to RHEL 7.4.
Otherwise some packages and dependencies are not matching - hence you receive the yum update errors. :)

My end customer requires that I use RHEL 7.1. I enabled the following optional repo and yum install is now successful:

subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-workstation-optional-rpms

Hi Omar,

First I have posted this as a solution to solve the problem, but after I saw another post from you, which showed me that you already had enabled the optional repository to solve your other problem, I removed my suggestion. Well, I thought that even with the enabled optional repository, you are getting error messages when running yum update. Anyway, good to see that everything is okay for you now. :)

Regards,
Christian
