Did you also update the foreman-plugins repo? From what I see in the logs, all of the packages throwing an error have .fm1_17. in their name, which suggests they’re from http://yum.theforeman.org/plugins/1.17/el7/x86_64/ and not http://yum.theforeman.org/plugins/1.18/el7/x86_64/.

Which one of these two do you have in /etc/yum.repos.d/foreman-plugins.repo?

#3

1.16 is in my .repo file. Oddly enough, that still allowed me to upgrade from 1.16 to 1.17. Also, upgrading that (or changing the repo) isn’t in the Upgrade instructions for 1.17 nor 1.18.

I changed 1.16 to 1.18 and yum now works. Thanks for the pointer!

#4

@x86txt Normally that file is updated automatically by upgrading the ‘foreman-release’ package to 1.17, maybe you missed that step? It’s step 2.A here Foreman :: Manual

#5

I think I may have run rpm -iv instead of yum upgrade on that RPM, actually.
