If a system update fails mid-way without completing yum transaction then it is possible to have two copies of the same package referring to same file such as:
[saurabh@rekallcm1 ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/make make-3.82-23.el7.x86_64 make-3.82-24.el7.x86_64
This typically does not gets solved by 'yum update' as package already exists error is shown such as:
[saurabh@rekallcm1 ~]$ sudo yum update make .... Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package make.x86_64 1:3.82-23.el7 will be updated ---> Package make.x86_64 1:3.82-24.el7 will be an update --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved =================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size =================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Updating: make x86_64 1:3.82-24.el7 base 421 k Transaction Summary =================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Upgrade 1 Package Total size: 421 k Is this ok [y/d/N]: y Downloading packages: Running transaction check Running transaction test Transaction check error: package make-1:3.82-24.el7.x86_64 is already installed Error Summary -------------
The issue is however solved by removing older package. This fortunately does not affects files shared between two packages:
[saurabh@rekallcm1 ~]$ sudo yum remove make-3.82-23.el7.x86_64 Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package make.x86_64 1:3.82-23.el7 will be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved =================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size =================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Removing: make x86_64 1:3.82-23.el7 @anaconda 1.1 M Transaction Summary =================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Remove 1 Package Installed size: 1.1 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading packages: Running transaction check Running transaction test Transaction test succeeded Running transaction Erasing : 1:make-3.82-23.el7.x86_64 1/1 Verifying : 1:make-3.82-23.el7.x86_64 1/1 Removed: make.x86_64 1:3.82-23.el7 Complete! [saurabh@rekallcm1 ~]$ rpm -qa make make-3.82-24.el7.x86_64 [saurabh@rekallcm1 ~]$ rpm -qV make [saurabh@rekallcm1 ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/make make-3.82-24.el7.x86_64
