Re: Giant 0.87 update on CentOs 7

Hi Steffen

We have recently encountered the errors described below. Initially one must set check_obsoletes=1 in the yum priorities.conf file.

However subsequent yum updates cause problems.

The solution we use is to disable the epel repo by default:

      yum-config-manager --disable epel

and explicitly install libunwind:

     yum -y --enablerepo=epel libunwind

Then updates occur cleanly...

    yum -y update

Additionally we specify eu.ceph.com in the ceph.repo file. This all works with RHEL7.

If one does not do this then the incorrect librbd1, librados2 rpms are installed and this triggers a dependency install of the (incorrect) firefly rpms.

To recover remove librbd1,librados2:

      yum remove librbd1 librados2

HTH

:) Now disabling epel which seems the confusing Repo above just renders me with TOs from http://ceph.com… are Ceph.com down currently?

http://eu.ceph.com answers currently… properly the trans-atlantic line or my provider :/

[root@n1 ~]# yum -y --disablerepo epel --disablerepo ceph-source update
