yum "Transaction Check Error" pointing to files that do not exist

  • 772

I am trying to install a boost148 package. This is a separate package from the boost, which I have installed and is version 1.41.

yum install boost
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security
Setting up Install Process
Package boost-1.41.0-18.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

But when I try to install Boost148 using yum install boost148 -y I receive the following

Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/lib64/libboost_chrono-mt.so.1.48.0 from install of boost148-chrono-1.48.0-7.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package boost-chrono-1.48.0-14.el6.x86_64
  file /usr/lib64/libboost_chrono.so.1.48.0 from install of boost148-chrono-1.48.0-7.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package boost-chrono-1.48.0-14.el6.x86_64
  file /usr/lib64/libboost_date_time-mt.so.1.48.0 from install of boost148-date-time-1.48.0-7.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package boost-date-time-1.48.0-14.el6.x86_64
  file /usr/lib64/libboost_date_time.so.1.48.0 from install of boost148-date-time-1.48.0-7.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package boost-date-time-1.48.0-14.el6.x86_64

So I checked to see if boost148 is partially installed

yum list installed | grep boost148

Nothing Shows up.

Also if I try to ls any of the files in the transaction check error, they do not exist.

# ls /usr/lib64/libboost_chrono-mt.so.1.48.0
ls: cannot access /usr/lib64/libboost_chrono-mt.so.1.48.0: No such file or directory

I figure it is some type of yum database problem so I did a yum-complete-transaction and a yum clean all but I am still unable to install the boost145 package. Any ideas on how I can convince yum to proceed with the install?

    You actually do have a couple of conflicting packages on your system: boost-chrono and boost-date-time provided by .sroycode (whoever he is). I have no idea how these got on your system, as .sroycode's repo doesn't seem to be in the list of installed repositories.

    To resolve the problem, get rid of these packages, then try your installation again.

    yum remove boost-chrono-1.48.0-14.el6.x86_64 boost-date-time-1.48.0-14.el6.x86_64

    (If this shows additional packages to be removed, then you may get some idea of why they're present to begin with.)
