[rhelv6-list] Package conflicts in yum for rhel6.

[David C. Miller]

I have a system subscribed to the normal rhel6 workstation and optional channels. I just installed the following packages via yum.

java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-1.21.b17.el6.x86_64
java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.21.b17.el6.x86_64

Now when I do a yum update I get package error. There is a newer version of the java-1.6.0-openjdk but not the java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin which requires the old version. Is there anything I can do with this? Here is the yum output from doing yum update.

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin

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