Issues installing inotify-tools on RedHat Linux
I wish to install inotify-tools-3.20.1-2.4.x86_64.rpm on Linux and fire inotifywait command.

Initially i was looking for "inotify-tools-3.xx.tar.gz" as instructed here http://jensd.be/248/linux/use-inotify-tools-on-centos-7-or-rhel-7-to-watch-files-and-directories-for-events

I have restrictions for download that package and hence I got the rpm from RPM resource inotify-tools

Quote:
inotify-tools-3.20.1-2.4.x86_64.html Tools for inotify OpenSuSE Tumbleweed for x86_64 inotify-tools-3.20.1-2.4.x86_64.rpm
I understand that this is for Suse Linux and not RedHat as was looking for 3.2x version or above.

Installation give me the below error:

Code:
yum install inotify-tools-3.20.1-2.4.x86_64.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks
Examining inotify-tools-3.20.1-2.4.x86_64.rpm: inotify-tools-3.20.1-2.4.x86_64

               libinotifytools.so.0()(64bit)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
2:microcode_ctl-2.1-47.5.0.3.el7_6.x86_64 has missing requires of kernel

Code:
uname -a
Linux mymach 4.14.35-1844.4.5.el7uek.x86_64 #2 SMP Tue Apr 9 00:29:47 PDT 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Below is what i did to try to resolve the error but it did not help.

Code:
yum clean all
yum reinstall glibc glibc-common libgcc
yum upgrade

And then:

Code:
yum install yum-utils
package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes

Can you please suggest any solution to the problem ?
