perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Rolf Seuster <>]

Hi all,

some perfsonar serves might be running Dell. If that's the case, the
auto-update might
not work since about one month.

On a default installation, there's now a conflict which prevents yum to
auto-update
the server:

---> Package libsmbios.x86_64 0:2.3.3-2.el7 will be updated
--> Processing Dependency: libsmbios.so.2()(64bit) for package:
srvadmin-storage-9.1.0-2757.12163.el7.x86_64
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: srvadmin-storage-9.1.0-2757.12163.el7.x86_64

           Removing: libsmbios-2.3.3-2.el7.x86_64 (@epel)

           Updated By: libsmbios-2.3.3-6.el7.x86_64 (base)

               libsmbios.so.2()(64bit)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

This library is also available / installed via RPMs from Dell.

The "solution" to this problem is to uninstall srvadmin-storage:

yum erase srvadmin-storage

Dell will need to provide an updated RPM, which apparently hasn't
happened yet.
