    One of my servers running 08stable got this error when doing a yum update.
    Code:
    --> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: ntp-4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos.x86_64 (@updates)
           Requires: ntpdate = 4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos
           Removing: ntpdate-4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos.x86_64 (@updates)
               ntpdate = 4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos
           Updated By: ntpdate-4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos.1.x86_64 (updates)
               ntpdate = 4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos.1
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 3 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
iputils-20121221-6.el7_1.1.x86_64 is a duplicate with iputils-20121221-6.el7.x86_64
ntp-4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos.1.x86_64 is a duplicate with ntp-4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos.x86_64
ntp-4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos.1.x86_64 has missing requires of ntpdate = ('0', '4.2.6p5', '19.el7.centos.1')

    what happens if you manually and specially remove the complaining package version and install the newer version
    Code:
    rpm -e --nodeps iputils-20121221-6.el7
yum -y install iputils-20121221-6.el7_1.1
    Code:
    rpm -e --nodeps ntp-4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos
yum -y install ntp-4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos.1

    Thank you. the rpm should have --nodeps, not -nodeps
    The yum install step will result in "already install and latest version"

    In any case, yum update will not complain anymore. Great job.
