so I'm unable to run a yum update on one of my machines. It returns the following error:

[root@yadayada ~]# yum -y update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Setting up Update Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Resolving Dependencies
There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.

Error: Package: ods-filerepo-1.3-110852.0-el6.noarch (ods)
           Requires: jre1.8
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

However I clearly have the correct version of Java installed on the machine:

[root@yadayada ~]# java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_131"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

[root@yadayada ~]# yum install java
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Setting up Install Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Package jre1.8.0_121-1.8.0_121-fcs.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

I'm at a bit of a loss. Does anyone have any idea what I could look at here to fix this? We use internal repositories, but none of the other hosts are facing this issue. This is a very old machine that I've been tasked with recovering and I'm scratching my head as to what could be the cause.

It's on Centos6.9 (not by choice).

  • You demonstrated installing java, not jre1.8. Nov 14, 2020 at 0:49
  • The response from the server is "Package jre1.8.0_121-1.8.0_121-fcs.x86_64 already installed and latest version" though so I'm assuming the repo being used conflates Java with jre1.8. I don't know very much about how rpm's/repos work though so I might be wrong. Nov 14, 2020 at 12:08
