I understand why the centos-release wants to be updated but can
someone tell me why it wants to pull in lvm-cluster and friends? This
machine is not part of a cluster.
I don't see how the above output could be much more clear. It wants to
upgrade the installed group of packages named "Resilient Storage" and
the included packages have new dependencies.
Obviously, but I never installed a group called "Resilient Storage" nor
do I need that group and yum grouplist does not show that such a group
even exists.
What I was missing is that yum grouplist has a "hidden" option and that is what
you need to actually see what groups are installed on the machine.
Once I found that I discovered that in 7.2 the Resilient Storage group only
had gfs2-utils as a Mandatory package. In 7.3 lvm2-cluster was added as
an additional package to that group. Yum logs show that gfs2-utils has
been installed since the beginning of the machine's life (most likely by
anaconda) and now that lvm2-cluster was added as a mandatory package,
that is what caused the unnecessary deps to be required.
That was the mystery I was trying to understand and solve.
The bottom line is that I removed gfs2-utils and all is well.
Sorry for the confusion.
