Looking at bodhi: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=python-twisted and Koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=3652 It seems python-twisted has never been built for epel7, while in pkgdb (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/python-twisted/) the branch is still approved. Looking at RHEL: $ python is_it_in_rhel.py python-twisted python-twisted is not in RHEL 5 python-twisted is in RHEL 6; version: 8.2.0; arch: noarch python-twisted is not in RHEL 7 It seems nothing prevents the package from being built. So is there a technical reason/missing deps preventing python-twisted from being built in epel7? Thanks

This update obsoletes base packages, which is against policy. $ repoquery --obsoletes python2-twisted | grep -e core -e web -e words python-twisted-core < 14 python-twisted-core-doc < 14 python-twisted-web < 14 python-twisted-web2 < 14 python-twisted-words < 14 $ python is_it_in_rhel.py python-twisted-core --release 7 python-twisted-core is in RHEL 7; version: 12.2.0; archs: ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64 $ python is_it_in_rhel.py python-twisted-web --release 7 python-twisted-web is in RHEL 7; version: 12.1.0; archs: ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64 $ python is_it_in_rhel.py python-twisted-words --release 7 python-twisted-words is in RHEL 7; version: 12.2.0; archs: ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64
python-twisted-core in RHEL prevents any update on that front.
