yum update 升级报错的解决办法

0℃訫

今天deepvps在一个 CentOS VPS 上升级系统时遇到一个问题，yum 报错：

复制代码代码如下:
# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

yum 在启动 fastestmirror 插件时出错，是 yum 的一个 bug（http://yum.baseurl.org/ticket/70）。如果停掉 mysqld，yum 一切工作正常。临时解决办法是 yum update 时禁止启动 fastestmirror 插件。

复制代码代码如下:
yum –disableplugin=fastestmirror update
