NethServer Version: NethServer release 7.6.1810 (final)
Module: update
I have been trying to update my NethServer I keep getting the following error
“Resolving RPM dependencies
The install/update may have failed due to metadata caching issues. Please clean the cache by clicking the button below and retry the install/update operation.”

I have also tried the following still a no go.
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb
yum clean all

I then ran yum update from the command line got the following results anyone have any ideal how I can fix this?

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

You may try to reset default repos with:

signal-event software-repos-save
5

I ran the “signal-event software-repos-save” same result when I ran yum update from the command line.

6

OK. You’re on 7.6.1810, . Once you get updates working, consider upgrading to latest NethServer version (7.7.1908).

Can you check /etc/yum.repos.d/NethServer.repo file for the presence of
[ce-sclo-rh] and [ce-sclo-sclo] repos and verify if they are enabled (enabled=1)?

7

I dont think they exist in the /etc/yum.repos.d/NethServer.repo file below is the entire contents of the file. What do I need to do to add the needed repo?

nethserver.org YUM repositories configuration

[nethserver-base]

Can you provide the outcome of:

rpm -qa \*-release\*|sort
yum repolist all|grep scl

You have the required repos but somehow they were disabled. It seems the server was not updated for a while. You can temporarily enable the repos at runtime from CLI:

yum update --enablerepo=centos-sclo-rh,centos-sclo-sclo
