Description of problem: installing the spacewalk-oracle package fails due to spacewalk-common-1.5.1-1 requiring selinux-policy-base >= 3.7.19-93. The latest version of selinux-policy-base available for CentOS 6 is selinux-policy-minimum-3.7.19-54.el6.noarch Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk 1.5.1 Centos 6.0 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install spacewalk-oracle Actual resulError: Package: spacewalk-common-1.5.1-1.el6.noarch (spacewalk) Requires: selinux-policy-base >= 3.7.19-93 Installed: selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-54.el6_0.5.noarch (@updates) selinux-policy-base = 3.7.19-54.el6_0.5 Available: selinux-policy-minimum-3.7.19-54.el6.noarch (base) selinux-policy-base = 3.7.19-54.el6 Available: selinux-policy-minimum-3.7.19-54.el6_0.3.noarch (updates) selinux-policy-base = 3.7.19-54.el6_0.3 Available: selinux-policy-minimum-3.7.19-54.el6_0.5.noarch (updates) selinux-policy-base = 3.7.19-54.el6_0.5 Available: selinux-policy-mls-3.7.19-54.el6.noarch (base) selinux-policy-base = 3.7.19-54.el6 Available: selinux-policy-mls-3.7.19-54.el6_0.3.noarch (updates) selinux-policy-base = 3.7.19-54.el6_0.3 Available: selinux-policy-mls-3.7.19-54.el6_0.5.noarch (updates) selinux-policy-base = 3.7.19-54.el6_0.5 Available: selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-54.el6.noarch (base) selinux-policy-base = 3.7.19-54.el6 Available: selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-54.el6_0.3.noarch (updates) selinux-policy-base = 3.7.19-54.el6_0.3 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Expected results: installation completed successfully? Additional info:
The newer selinux-policy is essential for correct operation of Spacewalk on RHEL 6. Yes, it's part of RHEL 6.1 release. The fact that CentOS did not release that update is unfortunate but really nothing Spacewalk team would be dedicated on fixing. You can build the selinux-policy from sources: https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2011-July/msg00175.html
Thanks Jan, I'll give that a shot!
