Topic: rkhunter dependency error when updated with yum

[mercyh]

Hi,

I receive the following error when attempting to run Yum update:

These systems have had rkhunter repaired using the information in the following thread and bug report: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,44113.0.html

I have opened the following bug report of this issue:

http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5323

Please tell me what I need to do to get yum to complete.

Thanks,
Royce

Just found out same issue:

first:

Code: [Select]

yum remove smeserver-rkhunter
then

Code: [Select]

yum update

[mercyh]

elmarconi,

You did not have trouble with yum removing dependencies needed for other programs with the command listed?

Thanks,
Royce

< disregard: I was thinking rpm -e >

[elmarconi]

No.

The big time inbetween remove and update is due to dinner, kids need to go to bed etc... 
And yes, this is an old and slow system...

Hello Royce,

I had the same message as you had and the solution from elmarconi worked here very well.

Worked fine for me also.

Shad suggests the following in the bug linked below but it should essentially do the same thing as elmarconi's suggestion:

rpm -e smeserver-rkhunter

Thanks to all for the input,

Royce
