RHEL 5.5 Yum Update Fails Dependency Error
7,410
Solution 1
Possibly you do not have the subchannel with the devel versions enabled. See In RHEL 5, yum cannot find a package (python-devel)
Solution 2
Longshot here.. but do you have something like
exclude=*-devel
in your /etc/yum.conf

I have 30 different RHEL 5.5 machines that will not update some 33 packages via Yum. Does anyone know why these packages will not install and how to correct this?
Yum clean all does not fix the issue, however skip broken will allow other updates to install but I am really after a way to clear this up for good.
They are stock boxes with RHEL subscription and not using any yum repositories other than Red Hat's own official repositories. They have not been updated for over a year!
