yum + skip broker or exclude rpms

during yum update on one of our rhel 7.6 server we get the following error

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: libtirpc-devel-0.2.4-0.6.el7.x86_64 (installed) Requires: libtirpc = 0.2.4-0.6.el7 Removing: libtirpc-0.2.4-0.6.el7.x86_64 (@anaconda/7.2) libtirpc = 0.2.4-0.6.el7 Updated By: libtirpc-0.2.4-0.15.el7.x86_64 (uaans75-repo) libtirpc = 0.2.4-0.15.el7 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

the are two solution for this problem

first solution is to exclude the problematic rpm as

 yum update --exclude=libtirpc --exclude=rpcbind --exclude=nfs-utils

or to use the skip-broken

 yum update --skip-broken

about the first suggestion , I think we can install the non update rpm after yum update

so my question is

what is the preferred solution ? ( exclude rpm or to use skip broken ? )

--skip-broken will skip all unresolved dependencies. Meanwhile --exclude will exclude a specific package from being updated. The problem here is that you don't have the correct dependency for the package libtirpc-devel.

Try to find the correct repository.

But if you don't bother installing this package I suggest to use --exclude as long as you will be controlling what you are doing and avoiding packages conflict.
