Problematic updates

Hi all just wandering if anyone else has seen this and how I should best go about fixing it?

Now updating libstdc++ …

Installing package(s) with command yum -y install libstdc++ ..

 * epel: mirror.hmc.edu
 * extras: centos-distro.cavecreek.net

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error:  Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
       cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
       pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:
       
         1. You have an upgrade for libstdc++ which is missing some
            dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
            solve this by installing an older version of libstdc++ of the
            different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
            yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
            requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
            --exclude libstdc++.otherarch ... this should give you an error
            message showing the root cause of the problem.
       
         2. You have multiple architectures of libstdc++ installed, but
            yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.
            If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
            can remove the one with the missing update and everything
            will work.
       
         3. You have duplicate versions of libstdc++ installed already.
            You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.
       
       ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
       this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
       do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
       much more problems).
       
       Protected multilib versions: libstdc++-4.4.7-3.el6.x86_64 != libstdc++-4.4.6-4.el6.i686
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

.. install failed!

Now updating libxml2 …

Howdy,

Hmm, that’s an odd one!

You appear to have a third party repo, the EPEL repo enabled.

That one usually doesn’t cause problems, but it wouldn’t hurt to rule that out… is there any chance you could disable that, and then try the update again?

Where do I go about disabling the repo?

Still needing help with this guys, how can i go about disabling that repo to test?

Look for the epel repo config file in /etc/yum.repos.d/, and in there, set “enabled=0” in that file.
