Description Anand Buddhdev 2018-05-11 09:21:21 UTC
Description of problem:

When trying to update a CentOS 7.4 server to CentOS 7.5, the update fails, because the new libsmbios package in CentOS 7.5 base does not provide the files needed for Dell's OMSA packages.

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

2.3.3-6

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with a CentOS 7.4 system
2. Install Dell OMSA tools (srvadmin-storage)
3. Run "yum update"

Actual results:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: srvadmin-storage-9.1.0-2757.12163.el7.x86_64 (@dell-system-update_dependent)
           Requires: libsmbios.so.2()(64bit)
           Removing: libsmbios-2.3.3-2.el7.x86_64 (@epel)
               libsmbios.so.2()(64bit)
           Updated By: libsmbios-2.3.3-6.el7.x86_64 (base)
               Not found
           Available: libsmbios-2.3.1-2757.12163.el7.x86_64 (dell-system-update_dependent)
               libsmbios.so.2()(64bit)

Expected results:

A large number of packages should have been updated.
