Actual Results:  
yum update fails

Expected Results:  
update should work.

Issue seems to be related to TSM (TIVsm) and EMC (symcli) components being installed.

Re-running "yum update"
Comment 3 James Antill 2009-01-28 16:12:53 UTC 
Can you try updating rpm and see if that helps?
Comment 4 Johnny 2009-01-28 16:29:22 UTC 
No luck. RPM updates okay, but same "yum update" error.
Comment 5 Johnny 2009-01-29 10:53:17 UTC 
Adding compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61 solved this issue.

From EMC Solution Enable Release Notes:


Solutions Enabler install on Linux

Solutions Enabler requires GCC standard C++ library
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 for its dynamically linked C++ binaries.
This generally comes with libstdc++ rpm. Some new versions of
Linux (RH Enterprise Linux Server release 5, SuSE 10, some RH
Enterprise Linux Server 4 and SuSE 9 ) come with
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6. This is found in systems with GCC
version 3.4 and above or systems with libstdc++ version 3.4 and
above.

In these system, make sure that compat-libstdc++ rpm
(compat-libstdc++-33 in Redhat Linux) is installed before
installing Solutions Enabler. compat-libstdc++ rpm provides
compatible C++ libraries.

Run the following command to check for compatibility:

rpm -qa | grep libstdc++

libstdc++-4.1.1-52.el5
libstdc++-devel-4.1.1-52.el5
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61

rpm -ql compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7

If you do not have the correct version installed, obtain and install it
before proceeding with the Solutions Enabler installation. The library
can be installed by running the following command:

rpm -ivh compat-libstdc++*.rpm
Comment 6 James Antill 2009-02-02 16:49:46 UTC 
The confusing thing is that if I do:

 yum provides 'libstdc++.so.5()(*)'


...the only hit I get is for "compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61", which isn't as being removed. So I _think_ what has happened is that the deps. got broken at some point (something removed "compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61") but because yum wasn't dealing with that package it doesn't check and so is happy. And for whatever reason rpm does check and so is unhappy. Running:

 package-cleanup --problems

...should have shown the problem.
