[LON-CAPA-users] YUM problem with tre-common on CentOS 7

Donald,

The versions of tre and te-devel available from the EPEL 7 repo are newer than the corresponding packages available from the install.loncapa.org/centos/loncapa/7/ repo.

LONCAPA-prerequisites requires R, which results in a dependency chain:
R-devel -> R-core-devel -> tre-devel -> tre.

The 64-bit tre package from lon-capa-updates (tre-0.8.0-10.el7.x86_64) has no dependency on tre-common, whereas the 64-bit package from EPEL 7 (tre-0.8.0-18.20140228gitc2f5d13.el7.x86_64) does, which adds one final dependency to the chain: R-devel -> R-core-devel -> tre-devel -> tre -> tre-common

loncapa-updates-noarch contains tre-common because the LON-CAPA repositories for 32 bit CentOS 7 include the i386 rpm for tre-0.8.0-18, which (like its 64 bit counterpart) has a dependency on tre-common.

I think the solution will be for me to replace the 64-bit 0.8.0-10 packages for tre and tre-devel in lon-capa-updates with the 0.8.0-18 versions.  I should be able to get to that this evening.  After I have made that change you will want to run the "yum clean all" command (again).

For now, if you insure that you have the 0.8.0-10 versions of tre and tre-devel installed instead of the 0.8.0-18 versions, then there will be no dependency on tre-common (which you could remove). You would then want to temporarily disable updates of tre and tre-devel from EPEL7.

Subject: [LON-CAPA-users] YUM problem with tre-common on CentOS 7

Hello,

I've just migrated our Redhat 6 Lon-Capa to CentOS 7.

It seems the site is working OK.  When I did a yum update recently there is
a conflict with tre-common being provided by both epel and loncapa-updates

I tried exclude=tre-common within /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
and did yum clean all followed by yum update. Same error as previously.

This package wasn't part of the R dependencies on the previous OS version so I can't compare to how it was satisfied on the previous server.

I  think the problem is that tre comes from epel and lists a dependency and version found only
on epel of tre-common,  while loncapa-updates provides tre-common but not the matching tre so
it isn't possible to make epel not provide tre packages.

You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

What do you suggest I try to resolve that issue?  I have not tried the exclude on the lon-capa repo, but assumed
there was a reason the package exists there.
