Section Number and Name:
4.5. Installing virt-who


Describe the issue:
The guide contains the following note:

  The virt-who package must be obtained from the
  Red Hat Satellite Tools repository as this provides
  the latest version.

This caused a customer confusion, as despite having both the rhel-7-server-rpms and rhel-7-server-satellite-tools-6.2-rpms repositories enabled, yum only showed the virt-who package from the rhel-7-server-rpms repository.  Example:


# yum info virt-who | grep -E ^Name\|^Version\|^Release\|^Repo
Name        : virt-who
Version     : 0.19
Release     : 2.el7sat
Repo        : rhel-7-server-rpms/7Server/x86_64


Once the customer was informed that when 2 repositories contain the same package at the same version & release level, yum (apparently) will use the 1st repository it found it in.  Yum will not mention the 2nd repository.  Disabling the rhel-7-server-rpms proves this to be true:


# yum --disablerepo rhel-7-server-rpms info virt-who | grep -E ^Name\|^Version\|^Release\|^Repo
Name        : virt-who
Version     : 0.19
Release     : 2.el7sat
Repo        : rhel-7-server-satellite-tools-6.2-rpms/x86_64



Suggestions for improvement:
Maybe change the note to read:
  To ensure one installs the latest virt-who package,
  enable the Red Hat Satellite Tools repository.  If both it
  and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux repository contain
  the latest package, yum may pull it from either.
