Hello, i have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 7.2 (Maipo) and i want to upgrade to the last 7.x (7.9 i guess)

i tried : yum upgrade

but i have dependencies error and I don't know if it's the right procedure to upgrade while staying on a 7 version.

Hi Jérôme,

Well, generally it should work that way ... as you didn't provide details, I assume you have packages from external repositories
installed. I recommend to uninstall these packages, disable those 3rd party repos, and then upgrade the system - afterwards
you can re-enable the repos and reinstall the applications. :)

Regards,
Christian

Hi, this is the error:

yum can be configured to try to resolve such errors by temporarily enabling disabled repos and searching for missing dependencies. To enable this functionality please set 'notify_only=0' in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/search-disabled-repos.conf

Hi Jérôme,

Please run this command, so the output is in English:

LANG=C yum -y update

When providing the output here start and end the output block with a line that only contains ~~~

That makes it easier to read.

Regards,

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Hi Jérôme,

Remove the conflicting packages : sudo yum remove gnome-getting-started-docs* freeipa-*
In case that isn't sufficient and still doesn't work, remove ipa packages as well : sudo yum remove ipa-*
Then upgrade the system : sudo yum upgrade ... afterwards you can reinstall the freeipa and ipa packages. :)

Regards,
Christian
