[Spacewalk-list] YUM/RPM dependency conflict with cobbler-loaders on CentOS 7

[Lenhardt, Matthias]

Hi again,

I think, the key are the following dependency differences between the spacewalk packages and the cobbler-loaders package:


# yum deplist spacewalk-common

...

  dependency: cobbler20

   provider: cobbler20.noarch 2.0.11-52.el7

...



# yum deplist cobbler-loaders

...

  dependency: cobbler2

   provider: cobbler2.noarch 2.0.11-52.el7

   provider: cobbler-epel.noarch 2.0.11-52.el7

...

All three packages, cobbler20, cobbler2 and cobbler-epel, are provided from the official spacewalk repository http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.4/RHEL/7/x86_64/.

Any hints are very welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

Betreff: [Spacewalk-list] YUM/RPM dependency conflict with cobbler-loaders on CentOS 7

Hi Spacewalkers,

It seems, I'm caught in a dependency loop while trying to install RPM cobbler-loaders for using cobbler buildiso command.

My installation is a fresh Spacewalk 2.4 on a CentOS Linux 7 system. All the recommended yum repositories, like spacewalk, epel and jpackage-generic, are connected.

Now while trying to install RPM cobbler-loaders, I got the following error:

=====================================================
# yum install cobbler-loaders
Loaded plugins: langpacks, rhnplugin
This system is not registered with RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.
You can use rhn_register to register.
Red Hat Satellite or RHN Classic support will be disabled.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles -nodigest
=====================================================

My installed cobbler20 package seems not to resolve the dependency requirement of cobbler-loaders, while package cobbler-epel (same cobbler version 2.0) conflicts (obviously) with installed cobbler20 package. The other available cobbler packages within the spacewalk repository, cobbler2 and cobbler-epel, do not fullfill the dependency requirements of most spacewalk packages.

So, I'm confused and ask for help.

Thanks in advance!
