[Spacewalk-list] upgrade of 2.6 to 2.7-nightly fails on RHEL/CentOS 6

[Miller, Jeffrey L]

I’m not sure where to send this so I figured to the list would be a good idea. I saw rumblings of a release soon, and I was testing the upgrade of a Spacewalk 2.6 server to 2.7-nightly on both RHEL 6 and CentOS 6 VMs; however, I encountered the following error on dependency checking from a yum upgrade command:

---> Package spacewalk-java.noarch 0:2.7.108-1.el6 will be obsoleting
--> Processing Dependency: jakarta-commons-logging < 1.1 for package: spacewalk-java-2.7.108-1.el6.noarch
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: jakarta-commons-logging-mvn-2.7.12-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-epel6-addons)

               jakarta-commons-logging = 1.1-8.jpp5

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

I believe the error is coming from the requirements specified in the spec file for spacewalk-java on GitHub (https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/blob/master/java/spacewalk-java.spec), line 127 reads: “Requires: jakarta-commons-logging < 1.1”. The package version for jakarta-commons-logging on a Spacewalk 2.6 install on CentOS 6 is jakarta-commons-logging-1.1-8.jpp5.noarch. In other words, 1.1 < 1.1 fails the yum dependency check, and yum cannot downgrade to 1.0.4 since 1.1 is required for other components.
