Error: Package: libgpod-0.8.3-14.el7.x86_64.

Wanted to update CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) but the yum update was failing Error: Package: libgpod-0.8.3-14.el7.x86_64. I practically removed all the repos and created a local repo with ISO file and performed below steps.

The EPEL repository is an additional package repository that provides easy access to install packages for commonly used software. This repo was created because Fedora contributors wanted to use Fedora packages they maintain on RHEL and other compatible distributions.

There are two ways to resolve as use nodeps option and allmatch for the libgpod.

rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches libgpod

In EPEL Repository config file:

Adding exclude=libgpod* line to each enabled repo from /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo

yum update after that.

Happy Linux!
