icingaweb2-2.11.4 not installable anymore on CentOS7 #293

Closed Decstasy closed 5 months ago

Describe the bug

Looks like a dependency hell. I cannot install icingaweb2-2.11.4 even by installing icingaweb2 and trying a yum downgrade icingaweb2-2.11.4.

To Reproduce

Take a fresh CentOS 7 VM (e.g. vagrant box) and try to install it:

rpm --import https://packages.icinga.com/icinga.key
wget https://packages.icinga.com/centos/ICINGA-release.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/ICINGA-release.repo
yum install epel-release
yum install centos-release-scl
yum install icingaweb2-2.11.4 icingacli-2.11.4

I even tried to fiddle with all the dependencies etc. it is simply not working anymore because smart people tend to do stuff without knowing the consequences. Why do we even have versioning?

Expected behavior

A installation to a specified version is possible like it should be.

Additional context

The newest version is installable BUT I have good reasons to use the 2.11.4, this has to work.

Hi @Decstasy, thanks for reporting!

I do fully understand your frustration and sorry for the delay! I was also able to reproduce your exact situation and it seems that yum does some unexpected things with packages that obsolete other ones. According to Redhat, obsoletes are only processed during yum update, but on Centos7 it does process obsoletes when performing yum install, so I'm not sure whether yum does different things on Centos7 than it does on Rhel distros.

If you are still struggling with this issue and still want to install Icinga Web 2 < 2.12.0, you can use the following command. This will explicitly prevent yum from processing obsolete packages (Obsoletes: .... instructions in the spec file). yum --setopt=obsoletes=0 install icingaweb2-2.11.4
