yum fails for python-backports-ssl_match_hostname-3.4.0.2-4.el7.noarch
Besides the identified Dell issue 3409271 I also cannot update python-backports-ssl_match_hostname-3.4.0.2-4.el7.noarch
I get as error that the older version cannot be removed.
What can I do please?
Thanks for help

Hi Stephane,
What happens when you uninstall and reinstall the package ? Sometimes this is the solution in such cases ... :)
sudo yum remove python-backports-ssl_match_hostname
sudo yum install python-backports-ssl_match_hostname

Stephane, and what happens when you run sudo yum reinstall python-backports-ssl_match_hostname ?

Hi Stephane,
As far as I can see, there are conflicts between the packages from the Red Hat repositories and those from DELL and from EPEL, that you've added manually. Please check whether it works after you have set both to enabled=0 in the relevant .repo file being located in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory, as a workaround.
Clean up everything with sudo yum clean all and sudo rm -r /var/cache/yum.
Afterwards run sudo yum update - does it work properly now ? Please report back. :)

Christian

Exactly this is the problem here, Stephane : TeamViewer 13 (the current edition is still in PREVIEW !) needs these qt5 packages as dependencies. To test if we can get around it, try if you can remove the qt5 packages and reinstall them with EPEL repo being disabled. If this causes further problems, stop the operation by declining with "N" and run yum update with the --skip-broken option. Please tell me which of those two methods worked and which not. By the way :
You're very welcome ... and I'm glad that you appreciate my efforts to help you getting your problems solved ! :)

Here's how I was able to fix it:
# rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/backports.ssl_match_hostname-3.*
# yum reinstall python-backports-ssl_match_hostname
# yum update
The problem is there were file conflicts left over in the python environment. Unless you installed this with pip manually, I suspect it's a problem with the Red Hat rpm itself not cleaning up after itself.
I just ran into the same thing with some RHEL7.4->7.5 upgrades. Clearing out the site-packages and reinstalling worked for me as well. I did notice my systems were showing the 3.4.0.2 version coming from @anaconda/7.1, so it looks like that's a landmine that's been laying around for a while.

I had a similar error (details below). But the resolution in my case was 1) sudo pip uninstall urllib3 2) yum install python2-urllib3
