EPEL updates to rubygem-rkerberos fail

[Lachlan_Musicman]

Problem:
When updating latest EPEL releases, yum upgrade fails because rubygem-rkerberos-0.1.3-6 requires libkadm5clnt_mit.so.11, but CentOS only has libkadm5clnt_mit.so.8

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

==> rpmquery --whatprovides /usr/lib64/libkadm5clnt_mit.so
libkadm5-1.15.1-8.el7.x86_64

==> repoquery --whatrequires rubygem-rkerberos-0.1.3-6.el7
foreman-proxy-0:1.17.0-0.1.RC1.el7.noarch
foreman-proxy-0:1.17.0-0.1.RC2.el7.noarch
foreman-proxy-0:1.17.0-1.el7.noarch
rubygem-smart_proxy_realm_ad_plugin-0:0.1-1.fm1_17.el7.noarch

Expected outcome:
EPEL updates work

Foreman and Proxy versions:
1.17.0-1

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
katello-agent-3.1.0-1.el7

Are you running CentOS 7.4? I ran into this last week as noted here:

Rubygem-rkerberos currently not installable on EL7.5

As some of you might have noticed, rubygem-rkerberos is currently not installable on EL 7.5, as it depends on an older libkadm5clnt_mit.so.8 that is no longer part of EL 7.5. This is tracked upstream in EPEL BZ #1563125 and there is an update (FEDORA-EPEL-2018-90207015c0) available for testing. We are tracking this in #23241, you can follow the redmine issue for updates. If you are running Foreman and want to upgrade the base OS to EL 7.5, you can either hold off updating libkadm5 (and all th…

Essentially the rubygem-rkerberos package in EPEL has been updated to address an issue in RHEL 7.5, this update has broken rubygem-rkerberos for CentOS 7.4. This issue should correct itself once CentOS is updated to 7.5.

Bingo. Thanks @synaptik . I didn’t realise that EPEL would run ahead of CentOS. I presume it will all work itself out soon enough.
