Linux : Error failed dependencies updating kernel-3.10.63-11.el6.centos.alt.noarch

By | July 20, 2015

Having the following error trying to install/update kernel v3.10 from the Xen repository on CentOS 6?

error: Failed dependencies:
kernel-firmware < 3.10.63-11.el6.centos.alt conflicts with kernel-firmware-3.10.63-11.el6.centos.alt.noarch

Well, you are probably trying to install using “rpm -i” command. You should use “rpm -Uvh” instead as followed :

rpm -Uvh kernel-3.10.68-11.el6.centos.alt.x86_64.rpm kernel-firmware-3.10.68-11.el6.centos.alt.noarch.rpm
