I have been using the yum repo, not the tarballs. Of course I can install from tarball, but would prefer to use the internet repo. The grub2-xcat rpm is only under the rh5/6/7 directories of the bz2 (and I assume the repos also, but I have not looked) and it is NOT present under SL5/6, nor is it in the repo online for Scientific Linux. This ommision is what is providing the errors for the missing dependency.
To workaround I have followed these steps: 1. download the RH5/6 version of grub2-xcat (corresponding to the SL version I am running on the server. 2. yum localinstall grub2-xcat*rpm 3. yum update This workaround has fixed the update issue. FWIW: Here is the list of rpm discrepancies between the two repositories grub2-xcat-1.0-1.noarch.rpm perl-AppConfig-1.52-4.noarch.rpm pyodbc-3.0.3-1.x86_64.rpm systemconfigurator-2.2.11-1.noarch.rpm systemimager-client-4.3.0-0.1.noarch.rpm systemimager-common-4.3.0-0.1.noarch.rpm systemimager-server-4.3.0-0.3.noarch.rpm xCAT-genesis-base-ppc64-2.9-snap201409242301.noarch.rpm << unneeded as no PPC support in SL Thank You, Frank Moss Cloud Systems Architect CTL Cloud Enterprise CenturyLink Technology Solutions Office: 314.579.8592 | Mobile: 314.292.9130 www.savvis.com This message contains information which may be confidential and/or privileged.
