And since the spacewalk-server did not have any repos at this time ... I've switched to have spacewalk not to serve itself -- may again lead to an henn and egg situation. But now: I have /etc/yum.repos.d/group_spacewalkproject-java-packages-epel-7.repo: [group_spacewalkproject-java-packages] name=Copr repo for java-packages owned by @spacewalkproject baseurl=https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@spacewalkproject/java-packages/epel-7-$basearch/ type=rpm-md skip_if_unavailable=True gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@spacewalkproject/java-packages/pubkey.gpg repo_gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 And after "yum install spacewalk-postgresql": Error: Package: ehcache-parent-2.3-11.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin) Error: Package: spacewalk-taskomatic-2.8.79-1.el7.noarch (spacewalk) Requires: cglib Error: Package: redstone-xmlrpc-1.1_20071120-19.el7.centos.noarch (spacewalk) Requires: jboss-servlet-2.5-api Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven.doxia:doxia-site-renderer) Error: Package: spacewalk-java-2.8.79-1.el7.noarch (spacewalk) Requires: cglib Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven:maven-artifact) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven:maven-settings) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven:maven-model) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-container-default) Error: Package: hibernate3-3.6.10-20.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.jboss.spec.javax.transaction:jboss-transaction-api_1.1_spec) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven:maven-archiver) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven.shared:maven-common-artifact-filters) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-interactivity-api) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven.wagon:wagon-provider-api) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven:maven-core) Error: Package: python-cheetah-2.4.4-5.el7.centos.x86_64 (extras) Requires: python-pygments Error: Package: ehcache-parent-2.3-11.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-source-plugin) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-archiver) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven.doxia:doxia-sink-api) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven.reporting:maven-reporting-api) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-utils) Error: Package: maven-javadoc-plugin-2.10.4-1.sw.noarch (group_spacewalkproject-java-packages) Requires: mvn(org.apache.maven.shared:maven-invoker) Error: Package: spacewalk-search-2.8.3-1.el7.centos.noarch (spacewalk) Requires: cglib Not as long as before. -- Thomas
