I'm upgrading my server but an error occurred. Here is the error report:

Transaction Check Error:
  package subversion-1.6.15-0.1.el5.rfx.x86_64 (which is newer than subversion-1.6.11-7.el5_6.4.i386) is already installed

    ...and your question is? It looks like someone installed a newer version of subversion already; it's probably harmless (if this server is not used for hosting something subversion-related in which case you possibly need to be a bit more careful). Commented Feb 29, 2012 at 12:39

You already have a version installed.

You can try to clean using

rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches <packagename>

This will erase all packages that match the packagename and not check the dependencies before it does. After that you should be able to yum update successfully.

    Never use --nodeps, you are creating an inconsistency! Commented Jan 26, 2013 at 2:02
  • Absolutely agree with @vonbrand. -1 from me. Commented Jan 26, 2013 at 5:27

This means that a newer version of the package than the one in the upgrade is already installed. This should work right if you tell the upgrade to use the updates for the upgraded version.

In any case, CentOS really doesn't need to be upgraded explicitly during a series. That is, if you originally installed CentOS 5.0 and updated rigurously, by the time CentOS 5.2 comes out you already have that installed through package updates. CentOS 5.2 just rolls all the updates into one installable set. You'd need to upgrade when CentOS 6.0 comes out, or upgrade directly to, say, CentOS 6.2.
