Yum el7 crmsh package depends on missing /bin/python

[phemmer]

I'm trying to upgrade python on an CentOS/7 system which has crmsh & python-parallax installed from the opensuse repo, and am getting the following:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Removing the crmsh & python-parallax packages before attempting to upgrade python solves the issue.

On EL7, /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin, and I'm guessing this is what's causing the issue, as oddly the RPM depends on both /bin/python and /usr/bin/python:

# rpm -qpR crmsh-2.3.1-1.2.noarch.rpm | grep /python
warning: crmsh-2.3.1-1.2.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 17280ddf: NOKEY
/bin/python
/usr/bin/python

Hrm, that does seem broken. It should be depending only on /usr/bin/python...

[krig]

Can you reinstall crmsh and python-parallax after the update?

I'll have to check with the OBS people to see how to fix this.

[phemmer]

sorry I wasn't clear on that, yes, reinstalling after the update works just fine.

Got this too. Because of that, we can't use crmsh as default cluster management tool. :( Broken spacewalk updates and stuff.

Got this rpm from:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/ha-clustering:/Stable/CentOS_CentOS-7/noarch/

root@someserver ~# rpm -q --requires  crmsh
/bin/python
/bin/sh
/usr/bin/env
/usr/bin/python
...

It would be just great, if there is any way to fix this.

[krig]

Agreed, it's a real problem. I'm investigating to see what I can do.

[krig]

I've updated the packages in network:ha-clustering:Stable with what seems to be a fix for this issue. Please help me verify that it actually solves the problem! Thank you for your patience.

[GLaN1K]

Thanks! But seems like issue still persists: (Got this from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/ha-clustering:/Stable/CentOS_CentOS-7/noarch/)

Yeah, I got things to work on my local build, but it seems like the rpm produced by the build service is different. I'm discussing the problem on the mailing list, hopefully there will be progress soon.

I got the similar problem too when I try to run yum update, Error: Package: crmsh-3.0.0-6.2.noarch (@opensuse-ha-clustering) Requires: /bin/python Removing: python-2.7.5-48.el7_2.x86_64 (@updates) Not found Updated By: python-2.7.5-58.el7_2.x86_64 (updates) Not found instead, you could upgrade python first: yum install python, and upgrade python to 2.7.5-58,

and then run yum update, it should finish update process.

Still persists for crmsh-3.0.0-6.2.noarch.rpm in OpenSuse repo
