[rhn-users] Unresolvable chain of dependencies:

[Marty Merrick]

Maybe try these:

elfutils-libelf
elfutils-libelf-devel
libelf

My "relevant" channels don't include WS so versioning is up to you.

Btw, I went here https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/search.pxt and
entered libelf as the search term.

Hth,
Marty
