I ran "sudo yum update -y" a few days ago, as I often do, and I saw the
following error:

Error: Package:

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


So I ran "sudo yum update -y --skip-broken", as suggested, and the
update completed without incident. Then I left my machine alone for a
few days, and came back to it figuring that I should run another update,
so I did, and I received the same error. Does this indicate that
anything worrisome is wrong? And, regardless, is there anything I could
do to rectify the issue so that I don't keep having to run yum update
commands with the --skip-broken option?

Thanks
