problem with yum, liblzma.so.0

Latest response

I cannot use yum, gives me an error about the liblzma.so.0.
Technically, I think I need to reinstall xz-libs, however, I can't seem to do that either.
The package of xz-libs seems to be, xz-libs-5.0.3-2.0.cf.el6.x86_64
Which, for some reason, was obtained from cityfan repo in the past by a different admin.

Options on repairing/replacing this file and the pitfalls with it?

Rhel 6.9

Hi Jon,

Suggestion : what you can try to solve the problem (workaround), is to remove the package via the rpm command, download the matching package via the Red Hat Package Browser and install this package manually by again using the rpm command. Hope it works ... :)

Christian
