Hi everyone, we are running cPanel on AlmaLinux 11.110.0.6 and are getting the below errors when attempting to update packages. Any ideas?

(XID zgnbm3) â/usr/bin/yumâ reported error code â1â when it ended:
You need to check your excludes for the kernel. Yum shouldnât be excluding kernel updates and trying to update grub2/shim etc. This is likely the root of the issue.
What excludes do you show configured for yum?
Are you running a base Alma system, or is it running the Cloudlinux OS?
If youâve got CL installed, then its pretty much a separate OS at that point so youâll want to reach out to them regarding any issues you may have.

Yes itâs CloudLinux 8 in my case Daniel. Thank you.
No worries, Iâd reach out to CL about that one, it could be a localized issue to their repo or similar but your issue and the original posters issue differ quite a bit, but with CL in the mix not much we can do here. I do know their repos can be fussy sometimes from experiences weâve had in the past.
Hi Daniel,
In my case its just base cPanel DNS only without CL.
The excludes I presume are the base ones cPanel have applied. Here is the output of the excludes configured:
exclude=bind-chroot dovecot* exim* filesystem p0f php* proftpd* pure-ftpd*
@DanielP
Bloatedstoat was able to resolve the issue with CL support after raising a support case. Not sure if this helps to resolve the issue in my case thoughâŠ
âThank you for your time. The issue was with this automatically added repository:
repo.cloudlinux.com_cloudlinux_8_BaseOS_x86_64_os_
It was causing the conflicts due to having outdated packages (because this is the BaseOS repo, which is for unregistered users).
I removed the repo file, and âyumâ can now complete the updateâ
I would do the following to see if something is mucked up, or if cPanelâs scripts are somehow blocking more than it should be.
dnf clean all
dnf update kernel
That will force a new pull of data from the repositories and just update the kernel which seems to be excluded for some reason.
Hi Daniel,
It looks like this has resolved the issue. Thank you 
Ill post on the cPanel forums, hopefully their support monitors this and corrects the configuration for excluding kernel updates.
