How to Solve “xz compression not available” Error in Centos

error xz compression not available

If you want to install or update use the yum command and got this error in Centos server:

error xz compression not available
error xz compression not available

Error: xz compression not available

Here is the solution.

This problem comes if you installed a wrong epel release on your machine. If so, then you need to remove the epel release by

yum remove epel-release

Sometimes that is not enough, you need to remove the cache as well by:

rm -rf /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/epel

Then you can install the epel-release again

yum -y install epel-release

Hope this help you, I have solved this problem on my server.
