YUM Error: Package does not match the intended download in Ubuntu 16.04
If you’re working with the YUM package manager in Ubuntu 16.04, you may have encountered the error «Package does not match the intended download». This error can occur due to package version mismatches or dependency issues. In this article, we’ll explore how to fix this problem.
First, you need to check the package versions. Open a terminal and run the command:
sudo yum list installed
This command will show the installed packages and their versions. Make sure that the package versions match the required ones.
If the package versions don’t match, try updating them to the correct version. Run the command:
sudo yum update
This command will update all installed packages. After the update, check that the package versions match the required ones.
If the problem persists, it may be related to dependencies. Check that all dependencies are installed. Run the command:
sudo yum deplist package-name
Replace «package-name» with the name of the package that is causing the problem. This command will show the package’s dependencies. Make sure that all dependencies are installed.
If dependencies are not installed, run the command to install dependencies:
sudo yum deplist package-name | awk '/provider:/ {print $2}' | xargs sudo yum install -y
This command will install the missing dependencies. After installing the dependencies, try installing the package that is causing the error again.
If all the above steps did not help solve the problem, try removing the package and installing it again. Run the commands:
sudo yum remove package-name
sudo yum install package-name
These commands remove and install the package again. After that, check that the error «Package does not match the intended download» no longer appears.
