yum update failure in fedora19

[Atin Mukherjee]

Hi List,

I've been facing a multilib protection failure in yum update. When I tried
to clean /var/run/cache/yum/* as well passing
setopt=protected_multilib=false as parameter in yum update, but none of
them actually resolved the issue. After turning off protected_multilib, I
am getting the following error:

Error: Package: 1:NetworkManager-vpnc-0.9.9.0-6.git20140428.el7.x86_64
(epel)
           Requires: NetworkManager >= 1:0.9.9.0
           Installed: 1:NetworkManager-0.9.8.8-2.fc19.x86_64 (@updates)
               NetworkManager = 1:0.9.8.8-2.fc19
           Available: 1:NetworkManager-0.9.8.2-2.fc19.i686 (fedora)
               NetworkManager = 1:0.9.8.2-2.fc19
Error: Package: 2:qemu-system-x86-2.0.0-1.el7.3.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libiscsi.so.2()(64bit)

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Atin

You appear to have a mixture of F19 and EPEL7 repos enabled which I'm 
guessing isn't what you intended... Try turning off the EPEL ones.

I think your posting is off-topic for this list. 
[e-mail] would have been the correct one.

Wrt. your issue: AFAIC, you seem to have mixed epel7 with fedora. This 
is not supposed to work, which means your system likely is quite messed up.

You can try to disable all epel-repos and cleanup your installation, 
using "yum distro-sync", "package-cleanup --orphans" and the like, 
aiming at removing all epel packages and to sync with fedora.
