Answer 1

On CentOS 6.4 I needed

yum clean all
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/cloudera-manager

It's the same as user2130332 wrote, but the path is more complicated. So the universal solution would be:

yum clean all
find /var/cache/yum -type d | grep cloudera- | xargs rm -rf

Answer 2

If it doesn't work for some reasons you can always download proper rpm from cloudera archive, install it with rpm -ivh and push the installation further

Answer 3

Assuming this is on a RHEL type system, try this:

yum clean all
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/cloudera-*

I had the same problem and this solved it.
