[OpenAFS] kmod-openafs package in RHEL6 repos breaks updates

[Berthold Cogel]

Hello!

First: A happy new year to all of you!


Somehow a kmod-openafs package got in the RHEL6 x86_64 repos that breaks
the update and installation process. I found this package in the repos
for 1.6.14..1.6.16

It's a module that seems to be build for a kernel 3.18, which is not
available for RHEL6. At least not through the official channels:

kmod-openafs-1.6.16-1.3.18.21_16.el6.x86_64

the bug report for ubuntu!

sigh. RHEL + external kernel modules is so broken, thanks to the Fedora 
religion :-(

The repositories (packages *and* metadata) are just rsynced from the place 
where Stephen provides them. Omitting select packages and rebuilding the 
metadata is certainly doable but yet more work for which there is no manpower 
available.

I'll see what I can do but please don't hold your breath...

Thanks for the report. At least it proves that some are still using the 
repository.

NB what are you using (or going to use) for EL7?

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

it has been indeed a long time

To much work for few people...  and I'm a kind of 'single point of
failure' for our linux environment. That's why I'm still stuck with RHEL6.

I've put an exclude in the repo file:

exclude=kmod-openafs-1.6.16-1.3.18*

And during kickstart I exclude the package with yum -x
kmod-openafs-1.6.16-1.3.18* (haven't tested this one yet...)
