Troubleshooting

In certain cases, an update through the Intel YUM repositories may fail due to a caching issue. Please follow these steps in order to disable caching in YUM and clean up your local repo prior to update.

1. Disable caching in YUM config file '/etc/yum.conf':

   http_caching=none

2. Delete any temporary YUM files:

   rm -r /var/tmp/yum*

3. Cleanup your local YUM repository:

   yum clean metadata

   yum clean all

4. Reboot your machine
5. Now re-attempt the YUM update:

   yum update
