HI -

A question about what yum is reporting as error when I do 

  yum upgrade clamav

yum runs to completion but prints 2 errors about installed ppcs. it seems to be complaining that the installed version is being upgraded by ppc in the repo dir?
For example - : libxml2-python-2.9.10-1.ppc (installed) requires libxml2 = 2.9.10-1 which will be upgraded to libxml2-2.10.4-1.ppc (clamav_103_main)
does this mean that libxml2-python-2.9.10-1.ppc is blocking?

probably the same as the second error for libstdc++-8-1.ppc (installed)

so how can I resolve this? remove libstdc++-8-1.ppc (installed) and libxml2-python?
or do i to upgrade them?

Error: Package: libxml2-python-2.9.10-1.ppc (installed)
           Requires: libxml2 = 2.9.10-1
           Removing: libxml2-2.9.10-1.ppc (installed)
               libxml2 = 2.9.10-1
           Updated By: libxml2-2.10.4-1.ppc (clamav_103_main)
               libxml2 = 2.10.4-1
Error: Package: 1:libstdc++-8-1.ppc (installed)
           Requires: libgcc = 1:8-1
           Removing: 1:libgcc-8-1.ppc (installed)
               libgcc = 1:8-1
           Updated By: 1:libgcc-10-2.ppc (clamav_103_main)
               libgcc = 1:10-2
           Available: libgcc-8.1.0-2.ppc (cloudinit)
               libgcc = 8.1.0-2
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

The suggested modifiers were not useful.

P.S: I dont understand the "1:" part in the line  - Package: 1:libstdc++-8-1.ppc - is that part of the version?

Hi Brendan,

Can you try removing  libxml2-python-2.9.10-1 if it is not used by other packages ?

 libxml2-python-2.9.10-1 is based on python2 and it is old.

Can you check if your repository is set with proper libgcc packages ?

Please list the output of "yum list libgcc*"

I am not sure if libxml2-python-2.9.10-1 is used by other packages. I think i can use yum deplist libxml2-python-2.9.10-1?

if it has sensible output i'll add it here.

Thanks
