<p>Dear LON-CAPA-admins,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>trying to update the operating system of our server <span>I encountered a problem
</span>today.</p>
<p><b><i>"sudo yum update"</i></b> failed with the following error:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><i><b>"Error: Package: LONCAPA-prerequisites-1-26.centos7.x86_64 (loncapa-updates-basearch)<br>
</b></i></p>
<div><b><i> Requires: perl-Number-FormatEng<br>
Error: Package: LONCAPA-prerequisites-1-26.centos7.x86_64 (loncapa-updates-basearch)<br>

Error: Package: LONCAPA-prerequisites-1-26.centos7.x86_64 (loncapa-updates-basearch)<br>
Requires: perl-Net-CIDR<br>
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem<br>
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest"</i></b><br>
</div>
<p></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I did not try to use the "skip workaround", fearing this might result in further errors in</p>
<p>future updates.</p>
<p>Trying to install "Number::FormatEng", for example, manually via cpan, showed that this module</p>
<p>was already installed, which seems to kind of contradict at least the first of the above errors.<br>
</p>
<p>Can anyone help me with this problem?</p>
<p>Many thanks in advance and greetings from Wolfenbüttel, Germany.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
