[Spacewalk-list] dependency problems installing client -- rhn-client-tools conflicts with yum-rhn-plugin

[A Robinson]

Hello,

We've been successfully using spacewalk for a few weeks now, however
recently we discovered we couldn't install the necessary packages to
register new machines. A bit of digging reveals this is due to a dependency
issue

as far as I can see rhn-client-tools conflicts with up2date, but indirectly
requires yum-rhn-plugin, yet yum-rhn-plugin provides up2date.

Looking at the developer packages I think this is now fixed, but we (perhaps
foolishly (and will add the packages to our repository when they are fixed))
use packages from

http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/0.6/Fedora/11/i386/os/Packages/

which have the dependency problems

Any idea when the problem will be fixed please?

Thanks

A Robinson

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
