rsyslog-8.39.0-2.el7 requires libestr >= 0.1.11 #51

Closed LTIOfficial closed 4 years ago

Revealed during the attempt at updating from rsyslog 8.38.0-1.el7 via yum-rsyslog repo in Centos 7:

rsyslog-8.39.0-2.el7.x86_64 requires libestr >= 0.1.11

It appears that the most recent libestr available to Centos 7 is 0.1.9-2.el7 in the Base. Epel does not appear to carry it.

libestr 0.1.11 is available on the rsyslog repo, so there should be no problem when installing rsyslog from there anyway.

The official EPEL repo is always behind for a number of releases.

Thanks @friedl. Interestingly, it didn't pick up libestr until I excluded it from the CentOS 7 Base repo.

For anyone experiencing a similar issue where you have the rsyslog repo installed and enabled: Edit the CentOS7 Base repo file vim /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

to include the following line in each of the repo sections included in it.

[base]
...
exclude= rsyslog* libestr*

[updates]
...
exclude= rsyslog* libestr*

etc.
