[Freeipa-users] version mismatch while joining a client ?

[Steven Jones]

Sorry, what's insulting?

That it is not unusual for Red Hat to break dependencies in yum/up2date?  This is a fact, as a customer its was not unusual that I experienced failures at RHN. This was several times a year within the dependencies, it is getting better, but libcurl shows an oops still happens.  

Bear in mind that IPA will be like AD, breaking AD in Organisations throughout the World would be a major event and a PR disaster for Microsoft. Equally in the future having the same event with IPA will be a major issue for Red Hat and their customers.  

So at Red Hat I would hope someone is taking a strategic look at the libcurl event and putting in place or modifying "something" (policy/protocol/proceedure etc) to try an ensure it or similar never happens again.   You will be mission critical, you have to think like that.  Indeed I will take this up with Red Hat to determine what Red Hat has done at a high level to ensure it wont happen again.

Otherwise anything else said was in no way meant to be insulting, (indeed the wasn't if this is what you refer to).  So I will conclude that you have mis-read / mis-construed what I have said. Otherwise I am happy to apologise.

regards

rpm -e != yum downgrade

According to this you have the version of libcurl that supports ticket
forwarding. Are you saying you still get an error when you try
enrollment? This has to be installed on each client, not the server.

The insulting comments are not necessary.
