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

I have searched the web for libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.17) but only found glibc-2.17-106.el7_2.1.x86_64.rpm but for centos 7.2 .

I don't know if it is useful! and don't know how to use it.

Solution

You are mixing CentOS 6 packages (.el6) with CentOS 7 packages (.el7), which is invalid. They differ a lot.

You installed mysql56-community-release-el7.* instead of mysql56-community-release-el6*, where from you get that.

Remove this wrong package source:

yum remove "mysql56-community-release-el7.*"

Install the correct one (as you installed the above mentioned before) and then it should work for you.

---

Find mysql-56-community in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ and disable that by setting enable=0 inside, if you don't know what is that doing there.

Also tried : yum clean all. but did not work

[Jakuje]

So first find out where does mysql56-community repository come from. That was just a guess. It should be in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and somebody had to install it.

[Ahmad Mobaraki]

yes its there! mysql-community.repo and mysql-community-source.repo how can I get rid of it.

[Jakuje]

First possibility is to disable them (there is a row enable=1, you can write there enable=0), so it will not be used. If you don't know how did it get there, just do that. It should solve your problems.

Thank you very much! my problem solved. you saved me hours!!
