Yum update error

AlbertoFaenzaFeb 17 2017 — edited Feb 27 2017

Hi,

I was installing OEL7 in Virtualbox for a test. I have installed it, set the yum repository to public:

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d

# wget http://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol7.repo

then I have performed a yum update.

I have got an error on the following package:

gnome-getting-started-docs

so I have temporarily removed it and run again yum update successfully.

Then I have tried to reinstall it but still I get the same error:

[root@oel7 packages]# yum install gnome-getting-started-docs

Loaded plugins: langpacks, ulninfo

I have also try to run the suggested command unsuccessfully.

I have no idea why only this package is failing.

Does anybody experience something similar?

In any case I guess I can live without this package.

Regards,

Alberto
