Issue
I have a CentOS 6.9 Linux VM with access to repository disabled, i.e. file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo is deleted so to prevent accidental updates of the packages because we need a set of specific versions.
So I'm trying to update just the necessary packages. I have pacemaker-cli-1.1.15-5.el6 installed and I want to update it to pacemaker-cli-1.1.18-3.el6. Its dependency is pacemaker-libs-1.1.15-5.el6 . So I tried the following command
sudo yum localinstall http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/pacemaker-libs-1.1.18-3.el6.x86_64.rpm http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/pacemaker-cli-1.1.18-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
But I got the following errors:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Could you help?
Solution
Apparently the error happens because not all the dependencies are listed in the command. All 4 pacemaker components have to be updated at once and the command that does this is:
sudo yum install http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/pacemaker-libs-1.1.18-3.el6.x86_64.rpm http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/pacemaker-cli-1.1.18-3.el6.x86_64.rpm http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/pacemaker-1.1.18-3.el6.x86_64.rpm http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/pacemaker-cluster-libs-1.1.18-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
