Hello,

I'm running Centos 6.3 with APF installed. Whenever I try to yum update I get the following error.

Error: Package: apf-9.7_1-1.el6.rf.noarch (@rpmforge)

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I tried to use the --skip-broken but it's still the same problem. How do I fix this problem. Thanks in advance

Kind regards,

Michael

yum clean all
yum check
yum erase apf

yum upgrade

Also depending on how the repos files are set up
as in using 6.3 or 6x
you might need to use this to upgrade to the current and only supported version of cent 6 ( centos 6.4 )

That worked! But now I am facing with the following problem when it tries to update clamav

Downloading Packages:
Setting up and reading Presto delta metadata

The command does not work for me.

add a few more repos like epel.
also install fastest mirror and other relevant yum plugins

Show
and the content of the relevant repo files (see /etc/yum.repos.d).
It may even just be a temporary name resolution issue.

For a general update you may be able to just say
NB: from your first post it looks like like you've got non Centos repos (rpmforge at least) also enabled, in which case you must install & setup yum-priorities http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities or you will bork your system.
