Protected multilib versions

Issue

Sometimes when you run cldeploy, you can face a similar issue:

 Protected multilib versions: libxml2-2.9.1-6.el7.5.i686 != libxml2-2.9.1-6.el7_9.6.x86_64
Error: Protected multilib versions: nss-softokn-freebl-3.53.1-6.el7_9.i686 != nss-softokn-freebl-3.67.0-3.el7_9.x86_64
Error: Protected multilib versions: zlib-1.2.7-18.el7.i686 != zlib-1.2.7-19.el7_9.x86_64
Unable to install yum-rhn-plugin, please contact CloudLinux support at https://cloudlinux.zendesk.com/hc/requests/new

Environment

• CloudLinux 7
• DirectAdmin

Solution

The workaround is to downgrade the dependent packages:

yum downgrade python-libs glibc* --enablerepo=cloudlinux-base

yum downgrade libxml2* zlib* nss* --enablerepo=cloudlinux*

Cause

The packages are installed from the repo which is unavailable, so there are no packages to suit the dependencies.
