Update error "Transaction Check error: unixODBC conflict"

VitalPBX

Hi,
I have recently installed Microsoft Defender on Centos 7 where already have an operational VitalPBX version 3.2.3-8 and Asterisk 18.12.1-1. While I try to install updates on the server via sudo yum update or sudo yum upgrade, I get the following error.

sudo yum update

Anyone has experience the same issue and how do you solve this without breaking voip server?
PS: I am new to Linux, so please bear with me :slightly_smiling_face:

So why this:

What are you trying to achieve with ms defender installed on Linux?

It is in our security policy to secure all servers with Microsoft ATP Defender and secondly we will have a overview of all the vulnerabilities.

The conflict is apparent, VitalPBX already provides the above file, and your new repo offers a package that overrides that file.

In short, you cannot install the package unixODBC because has conflicts with VitalPBX.
