perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Antoine Delvaux <>]

Hi George,

Thanks for the report.  There was indeed a discrepancy between our 
repositories and some packages reverted to an old version.

This should be corrected by now and you should be able to make the install 
correctly.  Can you report back to us if this is the case?

Regards,

Antoine.
