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

Expected outcome:
The upgrade happens.

Distribution and version:
CentOS 7

Are you sure you ran yum update -y https://fedorapeople.org/groups/katello/releases/yum/3.14/katello/el7/x86_64/katello-repos-latest.rpm ? The list of packages to be updated doesn’t seem to include those from the Katello 3.14 repo. The failure is specifically for hammer_cli_katello which should be upgrade to 0.20, but you’ll notice there isn’t katello 3.14 on the list either

The repo package was installed, but the repo file was missing. After reinstalling katello-repos-latest and running a yum clean all, things worked as expected.

Thanks!
