No you're exactly right and I just discovered this myself. Thanks for the response! I'm upgraded to 2.7 now!

**********************************************************************
I tested the upgrade process a few times prior to the release and didn't run into any issues as long as I didn't skip or forget the step that removes jpp packages before moving on to the next step.  Let me know what OS release(s) and version(s) you're using when you see this issue and I'll try to reproduce here.

During an upgrade test on a RHEL 6, CentOS 6 system, I had only installed one of the two Java package repos and ran into dependency issues.  I believe I had skipped the ...epel-7/group_spacewalkproject-java-packages-epel-7.repo thinking it was intended for RHEL 7/CentOS 7.  The dependency issues mentioned jpp5 packages, so I ran a command to list all packages containing 'jpp5' and then walk that list and do `rpm -e --nodeps` on the package.  Only then did I realize I hadn't added both java package repos.  The command to remove the jpp packages only removes those packages that cause issues, the rest on the system end up getting upgraded away.

If this turns out not to be the issue you're seeing, let me know the OS and release and I'll test the upgrade for that here.
