When using CentOS 6 (RHEL6, Scientific Linux 6) distribution and OpenVZ RHEL6-based kernel, the following problem occurs while running yum update:

There could also be a different conflict between <code>kernel-firmware</code> and <code>vzkernel-firmware</code> packages.

== Explanation ==

Package <code>vzkernel-firmware</code> is provided for distributions other than RHEL/CentOS 6, which lacks the package. On a CentOS 6, this package is not needed and it conflicts with the <code>kernel-firmware</code> package.

== Solution ==

The solution is to remove <code>vzkernel-firmware</code> package:

# rpm -e vzkernel-firmware
