We have a couple of CentOS 7 boxes that were built before I was hired to clean up the kickstart script used for C7 boxes. We had a couple of rpm packages that were pre-C7 that were used and setup the old SysV Init way using ntsysv and chkconfig on these boxes. (I finally fixed that in the newer scripts.) These are out in the field and I'm having to deal with them as they are. One thing I'm having trouble with is updating them without this error:
Error: Package: ntsysv-1.7.2-1.el7_3.1.x86_64 (updates) Requires: chkconfig = 1.7.2-1.el7_3.1 Installed: chkconfig-1.3.61-4.el7.x86_64 (@anaconda) chkconfig = 1.3.61-4.el7 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem ** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: ntsysv-1.7.2-1.el7.x86_64 has missing requires of chkconfig = ('0', '1.7.2', '1.el7')
Now, I've verified the chkconfig v1.7.2 package is available on the mirror we're using, I've rebuilt the RPM database and nothing has worked. I'm not even sure what the problem is at this point. Anyone have any ideas?
