perl-Git Installation Error

When you type #yum update in the terminal, the update process fails with an error like the one below. Because of this error, the entire update list cannot be processed. Actually, the solution is quite simple — unless you don’t know what to do, in which case it becomes more complicated than it is.

---> Package git.x86_64 0:1.7.1-9.el6_9 will be installed
--> Processing Dependency: perl-Git = 1.7.1-9.el6_9 for package: git-1.7.1-9.el6_9.x86_64

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

To summarize, this error means that perl-Git is required but cannot be installed.

All you need to do when you see this error is run the following command:

yum install perl-Git --disableexcludes=main

After installing perl-Git, you’ll see that the yum update command works without any errors and the update process continues normally. The required package is now properly installed.
