Description of problem: I had medaiwiki123 happily running on a CentOS-7+epel server and went to bring up another, and discovered it's not available. However, all the associated mediaiwiki123-* packages still are, and they don't like it that their parent has disappeared. eg yum install mediawiki123-RSS Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package mediawiki123-RSS.noarch 0:2.25.0-1.el7 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: mediawiki123 for package: mediawiki123-RSS-2.25.0-1.el7.noarch --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: mediawiki123-RSS-2.25.0-1.el7.noarch (epel) Requires: mediawiki123 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fully patched CentOS-7+epel system How reproducible: as above Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I just checked and the primary download server shows the issue too - got all the mediawiki123-* packages but not mediawiki123 itself http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/m/
The package was retired in March because MediaWiki 1.23 is EOL. It seems like those packages should be retired as well since they require mediawiki123. I'm adding Patrick to CC as the maintainer of the retired package and the remaining mediawiki123-* packages.
