I have been using this script to speed things up in the meantime.


sed -i "s#enabled=1#enabled=0#" /etc/yum.repos.d/dell-omsa-repository.repo && yum -y install dell-system-update && yum -y remove dell_ie_rac python-smbios && yum -y upgrade && srvadmin-services.sh restart

I strongly support this request.

We're getting the same issue over many servers.  We haven't moved most of
our servers from the old Dell repo to DSU.  I'm now loathe to do any updates
to OMSA until I can be sure each server won't take an inordinate amount of
time to unfunge.

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,
