Description of problem:
The new pcp-3.10.6 rpm in RHEL7.2 requires pcp-compat which is a dependency rpm that specifically says "This is not a package that should be depended on".
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pcp-3.10.6-2.el7
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install pcp
Actual results:
yum tries to install a whole lot of pcp-pmda-*, such as pcp-pmda-sendmail
Expected results:
pcp should not require pcp-compat. Customers should be able to choose which pmda modules they want, or yum install pcp-compat to get them all.
Additional info:
[root@test /]# yum install pcp

One severe effect of this change is that postfix now gets pulled in as well, via pcp-compat requires pcp-pmda-postfix requires postfix-perl-scripts requires postfix dependency chain. On one machine I've seen that postfix enabled and running after reboot -- I need to investigate more why that happened but it definitely is a concern.
