  • Yum update error pkg glibc-devel

    Posted on

    Apologies if this seems trivial, however, I am very new to Linux.

    I just ran 'sudo yum update' on a brand new RHEL v7 workstation and am receiving the following errors:

    You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

    I'm not sure how to resolve the issue so I can apply software updates. Any feedback is much appreciated.
