perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Gerald Vogt <>]

Hi!

As postgresql 9.5 is now end-of-life I have been cleaning up and found 
it installed on our perfsonar server. The 9.5 server isn't running but 
the 10 instead, so it's not so big a deal, but I cannot remove the old 
perfsonar95 rpms because of dependencies:

---> Package postgresql95-server.x86_64 0:9.5.3-2PGDG.rhel7 will be erased
--> Processing Dependency: postgresql95-server for package: 
postgresql-load-1.1-1.el7.noarch
...
---> Package postgresql-load.noarch 0:1.1-1.el7 will be erased
--> Processing Dependency: postgresql-load for package: 
pscheduler-server-4.3.4-1.el7.noarch
...
---> Package pscheduler-server.noarch 0:4.3.4-1.el7 will be erased
...
---> Package perfsonar-core.noarch 0:4.3.4-1.el7 will be erased
...

So basically it removes the whole pscheduler-server and perfsonar 
because of the dependencies to postgresql-load.noarch which depends on 
postgresql95. I guess, postgresql-load.noarch should not depend on a 
specific postgresql server version?

I also checked with "yum autoremove" and it lists a number of obsolete 
packages:

Are those really obsolete or are they not listed properly in other rpms 
depending on them?

Thanks,

Gerald
