Sorry, Accidentally Enter got pressed and it created bugzilla. ========== IHAC who is requesting for a virtual package for "time-synch" to be created and for it to be added as the dependency for the ipa-client rpm *instead* of ntpd (and that virtual package to be added to the "provides" of both ntpd and chrony). While installing ipa-client it force to install ntp while it should give choice of selection. Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Installing: ipa-client x86_64 4.4.0-14.el7_3.7 rhel-7-server-rpms 230 k Installing for dependencies: autofs x86_64 1:5.0.7-56.el7 rhel-7-server-rpms 781 k autogen-libopts x86_64 5.18-5.el7 rhel-7-server-rpms 66 k certmonger x86_64 0.78.4-3.el7 rhel-7-server-rpms 598 k hesiod x86_64 3.2.1-3.el7 rhel-7-server-rpms 30 k ipa-client-common noarch 4.4.0-14.el7_3.7 rhel-7-server-rpms 124 k ipa-common noarch 4.4.0-14.el7_3.7 rhel-7-server-rpms 450 k ntp x86_64 4.2.6p5-25.el7_3.2 rhel-7-server-rpms 547 k <===== ============= And if we remove the ntp it also removes the ipa-client ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Removing: ntp x86_64 4.2.6p5-25.el7_3.2 @rhel-7-server-rpms 1.4 M Removing for dependencies: ipa-client x86_64 4.4.0-14.el7_3.7 @rhel-7-server-rpms 359 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Remove 1 Package (+1 Dependent package) Installed size: 1.7 M Is this ok [y/N]: ===== At present I have updated customer to mask the ntp service and continue with their choice (e.g chrony) Upstream ticket: https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/7024 We won't change the behavior in RHEL 7. FreeIPA Upstream changed used NTP service to Chrony in future FreeIPA 4.7. It is not clear what is the use case or benefit in choosing the other time service in RHEL 7. Thus closing. |
