Broken yum update on CentOS 7: gdal

1

When performing:

yum update

on my CentOS 7 server, I receive this strange error:

Error: Package: gdal-1.11.4-12.rhel7.x86_64 (pgdg93)
              Requires: libproj.so.12()(64bit) Error: Package: gdal-libs-1.11.4-12.rhel7.x86_64 (pgdg93)
              Requires: libproj.so.12()(64bit)  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I've never seen this error before. I've researched a little and GDAL is the Geospatial Data AbstractionLibrary.

Apart from the standard CentOS repos, I'm using EPEL, and Postgres 9.3 official repo.

I cannot find libproj in pkgs.org.

Any ideas on how to solve this please?

Hey OP, did the accepted answer work for you? Same situation here, but the accepted answer didn't help me jump the gap. – elrobis – 2018-02-06T17:32:25.003

I ignore the offending gdal library. I hope that in a near future it will be solved. Postgis and Postgres work ok as before. – david.perez – 2018-02-08T07:17:23.387

Same issue here. In my case adding "--exclude=gdal" uncovered another incompatibility between the existing gdal-libs and libarmadillo: "gdal-libs-1.11.4-10 requires libarmadillo.so.4". I had to use "--exclude=gdal-libs,armadillo" and that got me through the update. I do not have a clear picture yet if postgis is functioning as expected. – Sam Alpher – 2018-02-21T12:57:17.843

Looks like a dependency issue in the Postgres repo, someone filed a bug with exact same message: http://www.postgresql-archive.org/BUG-15037-gdal-libs-1-11-4-12-updates-require-proj-unavailable-version-td6003637.html

You might want to reply to the bugreport to show you're affected too.

Until they fix this you can use:

yum update --exclude=gdal
