Little question about CentOS 7 repo, dependenciesetc...

[rockandroller]

I've changed from zmrepo to the rpmfusion, and successfully updated to latest 1.30.4 - and it's running fine!

( centos-release-7-4.1708.el7.centos.x86_64 )

I didn't get the memo on this, so the last while I've been on 'zmrepo' and still doing one by one manual yum updates ( kernel patches, etc) as plain "yum update" always failed , and it got to the point that "--skip-broken" wasn't helping either.

However, after clearing some seventy updates manually, I finally still have some "dependencies" issues in updating that server, and I'm not sure what if any of these are related to my (belated) change from ZM repo, or if they are even used by ZM? (ALL this machine does is run ZM, I'd be happy to uninstall these if they are not being used....)

Here is the list:

( running --skip-broken doesn't help in this case. )

I've not experienced this issue on my own centos server.

All the packages in question are coming from the CentOS base repo, and Zoneminder does not depend on any of them. This question would be better suited in the centos forum.

Sure enough, Googling takes one right to the centos forum. The first two hits state what the issue is and what to do about it:
