When trying to run yum update, I receive the following errors:

Downloading Packages:
Running rpm_check_debug

Transaction Check Error:

Error Summary
-------------

I've tried forcing the individual packages to be updated but I haven't had any luck. Can anyone help me resolve this? It looks like x86_64 packages and i386 packages are butting heads. This was run with the skip-broken flag set.

remove conflicted packages:

yum remove rpm sssd-client

and then install them back:

yum install rpm sssd-client

I think is better if you use the whole packet name in this case

yum remove rpm-4.4.2.3-36.el5_11.i386

and 

yum remove sssd-client-1.5.1-70.el5.i386

  • This ended up being closest to what I did. sssd-client uninstalled without a problem, but trying to remove rpm.i386 gave a bunch of child dependencies (mostly related to net-snmp) which all had to be uninstalled. After rpm was uninstalled, I ran the update and reinstalled the dependencies. Seems to be mostly stable at this point. – Matthew Apr 14 '15 at 18:08
