Hi All,
I am currently doing an installation to use with our infrastructure.
While attempting to install the client repo this morning I noticed a few
problems:
1. Installed the following package:
http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.3-client/RHEL/6/x86_64/spacewalk-client-repo-2.3-2.el6.noarch.rpm
2. Went to perform an update and saw the following:
Downloading Packages:
http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.3-client/RHEL/6/x86_64/spacewalk-client-repo-2.3-2.*el7*.noarch.rpm:
[Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not
Found"
Trying other mirror.
Error Downloading Packages:
spacewalk-client-repo-2.3-2.el7.noarch: failure:
spacewalk-client-repo-2.3-2.*el7*.noarch.rpm from spacewalk-client:
[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
[root@sp-client ~]#*
*Notice the parts marked in bold. I have installed an EL6 repository,
and it is trying to update to an EL7 package that doesn't exist in this
repo?
3. OK so maybe an issue with the above (all the packages in 2.3/RHEL/6/
repo are EL6 packages), not to worry lets install the client anyway:
RAN:
yum install rhn-client-tools rhn-check rhn-setup rhnsd m2crypto yum-rhn-plugin
I've cut the following output down quite a bit, but see the below:
---> Package rhn-check.noarch 0:2.3.16-1.el7 will be installed
---> Package rhn-client-tools.noarch 0:2.3.16-1.el7 will be installed
---> Package rhn-setup.noarch 0:2.3.16-1.el7 will be installed
---> Package rhnsd.x86_64 0:5.0.15-1.el7 will be installed
---> Package yum-rhn-plugin.noarch 0:2.3.3-1.el7 will be installed
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: rhnsd-5.0.15-1.el7.x86_64 (spacewalk-client)
Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.15)(64bit)
Error: Package: rhnlib-2.5.75-1.el7.noarch (spacewalk-client)

(@anaconda-CentOS-201410241409.x86_64/6.6)

Ok so some dependencies problems, and some confusion about why its
attempting to install el7 packages. The dependencies it requires are
present also, perhaps they are looking elsewhere?
[root@sp-client ~]# whereis libc.so.6
libc.so: /lib/libc.so.6 /lib64/libc.so.6 /usr/lib64/libc.so.6

>>>
It certainly looks like the EL6 repo for the 2.3 client is a little
broken. Am I correct in thinking this, or am I missing something here?*
