Description John T. Rose 2016-12-09 20:39:14 UTC

Description of problem:

Since RHEL 7.3 was released including python-idna kickstarts haven't worked due to the conflict with the EPEL package. If I remove it by hand they work again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

python-idna-2.0-1.el7.noarch <-- RHEL 7 version (base server channel)
python-idna-2.0-1.el7.noarch <-- EPEL 7 version

Additional info:

Any chance we could get this duplicate package removed from EPEL?

Comment 1 John T. Rose 2016-12-21 21:31:14 UTC

This seems to be breaking kickstarts on our satellite server which has EPEL also synced to it. If I manually remove this package from the EPEL repository kickstarts work again.

Of course, it comes back again the next time the satellite syncs EPEL so removing it on my end is a band-aid.

I believe either removing it from upstream EPEL, and it is in violation of EPEL's policies although I know it wasn't when it was added to EPEL and I know it could cause problems for non-7.3 users if you remove it, or reversioning the RHEL copy of this to something that appears to yum to be "newer" would resolve the brokeness on the satellite.

Any comments?

Thanks.

Package has been retired and blocked in epel, it will drop out with the next updates push for EPEL
