Automatic Updates Broken With Repo Change

The recent repo change has broken automatic updates on dell servers w/ the dell repo enabled and omsa 8.1 installed. With omsa 8.1 (and possibly other older versions) - the following packages would have been installed on a server: python-smbios smbios-utils-python yum-dellsysid As a result of the repo change - servers with omsa 8.1 are now being pushed to 8.3. Unfortunately it does not appear that you have tested this case as a server does not cleanly upgrade to 8.3 under these conditions. You will get dependency errors when libsmbios tries to get upgraded. There is a recent thread with the applicable rpm dependency output. While we can remove these packages since they no longer seem to be needed - your repo change has now broken automatic OS updates on RHEL 6 servers where the dell repos may have previously been configured. I would highly ask that you consider creating a solution to address this via an update to the rpm packages - so as to prevent a scenario where manual remediation is going to be required - and not indirectly perpetuating a security risk. thanks, ed _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge
