 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

How to repeat:
Attempt to yum update

Thank you for the bug report. Duplicate of https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=101464.

Hi Marcel!

See referenced bug for workaround.

Hi terje

Thank you for the fast reply.

In your referenced ticket https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=101464 a workaround is described. My question now is, what happens if another update of the mysql-connector-python package is delivered in the near future? Will yum update not complain about the same package dependency on mysql-community-client-plugins again and deliver an error?

Any chance a new version of mysql-connector-python might be delivered in the future without the same dependency?  The workaround works "rpm -Uvh https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-8.0.22-1.el7.x... --nodeps" but it's kind of annoying to have to do that on every server.

We're trying into it with MySQL 5.6 / 5.7 hosts on RHEL6 and RHEL7
