Description of problem: An update was recently released to etckeeper in the EL6 EPEL repo, from 1.18.5-1.el6 to 0:1.18.7-2.el6. The new version contains a broken dependency on "hostname". Ex: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install etckeeper' returned 1: Error: Package: etckeeper-1.18.7-2.el6.noarch (epel) Requires: hostname In CentOS 7, there is a separate "hostname" package. However, in CentOS 6, /bin/hostname is provided by package "net-tools". I'm pretty sure the package is working from CentOS 7, added the "hostname" package dependency as that's correct for 7, but carried that over to the CentOS 6 build by mistake. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.18.7-2.el6 How reproducible: Every time. Just attempt to install or update etckeeper from EPEL on a CentOS 6 instance. sudo yum update etckeeper Steps to Reproduce: A) sudo yum update etckeeper B) sudo yum install etckeeper Actual results: Loaded plugins: etckeeper, fastestmirror, priorities, security, versionlock Setting up Update Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile 143 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package etckeeper.noarch 0:1.18.5-1.el6 will be updated ---> Package etckeeper.noarch 0:1.18.7-2.el6 will be an update --> Processing Dependency: hostname for package: etckeeper-1.18.7-2.el6.noarch --> Processing Dependency: perl-interpreter for package: etckeeper-1.18.7-2.el6.noarch --> Running transaction check ---> Package etckeeper.noarch 0:1.18.7-2.el6 will be an update --> Processing Dependency: hostname for package: etckeeper-1.18.7-2.el6.noarch ---> Package perl-interpreter.noarch 4:5.10.1-5.el6 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: etckeeper-1.18.7-2.el6.noarch (epel) Requires: hostname You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Expected results: It should depend on the "hostname" executable, not on the "hostname" package, and it should install or update. Additional info: I don't think any is needed :-)
