CentOS Package Error, YUM returns pkgKey Error.

Got this random error from YUM

Error: pkgKey 3185 doesn't exist in repo base You could try running: 
	package-cleanup --problems
	package-cleanup --dupes
	rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Thankfully, google is your friend and you can fix it this this "un-suggested" way:

yum clean all
yum clean metadata

 

Leave a comment if this works for you.

    I have a problem with my centos server. I forgot what I did a month ago... Now I can't install any packages to it :(

    Yep - this worked where the three suggested fixes did not. More RHEL/CentOS brain damage!

    You are my hero. I couldn't get those YUM recommendations to work for the life of me.

    Worked for me but I just did 'yum clean metadata' (because 'yum clean all' cleans the metadata already so I figured I'd try just cleaning metadata first) and it fixed the problem.
