yum update 升级报错的解决办法

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
