resolution

You can configure the Yum client to update only a package of the exact architecture installed on the system.

Perform the following steps to-remove duplicate packages (i.e. 32-bit and 64-bit packages installed on server which is Caus ing the dependency issues).

Install the Yum-utils Package:raw

# yum Install Yum-utils

The Package-cleanup--dupes lists all duplicate Packages:raw

# Package-cleanup--dupes        

The Package-cleanup--cleandupes removes the duplicates (it asks for a confirmation to remove all duplicates unless Switch is given): Raw

# Package-cleanup--cleandupes   

Edit/etc/yum.conf, set the following Line:raw

Exactarch=1

Run Yum Command:raw

# yum Clean all
# Yum update

If The conflict is only due to the fact, then Yum isn ' t trying to update the bit packages along with the bit ones, th Is would solve the conflict.

Note:if all above procedure fail, can also check your exclude content in/etc/yum.conf file. Sometimes 32Bits Packages are in the Yum blacklist and system'll prevent it to install and you'll to the Transaction Check Error. Raw

# grep-i exclude/etc/yum.conf
exclude=kernel*,*.i?86

Note 2:in case the systems cannot is connected to the Internet for security reasons, one could replace the files with the RPM Command as Follow:raw

RPM-UVH--replacefiles openssl-*.rpm
