Installing katello-agent on RHEL 5

Support
1

We're (still) in the process of implementing Foreman and Katello. We've
migrated a number of RHEL 6 & 7 systems with no issues, but when I went to
work on my first RHEL 5, I'm unable to install the katello-agent due to
missing dependencies.

All our RHEL 5 are running 5.11, and I"ve imported the Katello Client
repository as well as EPEL 5. Neither of the missing packages exist
anywhere according to a package search in the UI.

yum install katello-agent

Loaded plugins: kmod, product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Does anyone have any ideas where these packages are supposed to come from?

It's a while since I was looking at this for our RHEL 5 estate connecting
to Satellite 6, but I'm pretty sure all those deps are resolvable.

I think you will need to build them.

I have kind of the same problem with a large number of RHEL 4 and 5
systems out there.

I spent a lot of time rebuilding newer packages against the older systems.

This was a mistake when revamping our qpid stack for el6 and el7 and
some of the dependencies are missing from the el5 client repo for 3.1.
I've been meaning to fix that, I'll work on it today.

This should now be resolved via katello-agent-2.6.0-4.el5 and
qpid-proton-c-0.9-13.el5 in the el5 client repo.

Hello everyone,

Weirdly, i tried to install katello-agent on RHEL5 but I met some problem of dependancy when I am using the repos for RHEL 5.11 x86_64 (https://fedorapeople.org/groups/katello/releases/yum/3.1/client/el5/x86_64/)

–> Missing Dependency: python-uuid is needed by package python-gofer-2.7.5-1.el5.noarch (Spring_Katello_Katello_Community_for_RHEL5)
python-gofer-2.7.5-1.el5.noarch from Spring_Katello_Katello_Community_for_RHEL5 has depsolving problems
–> Missing Dependency: python-hashlib is needed by package python-gofer-2.7.5-1.el5.noarch (Spring_Katello_Katello_Community_for_RHEL5)
Error: Missing Dependency: python-hashlib is needed by package python-gofer-2.7.5-1.el5.noarch (Spring_Katello_Katello_Community_for_RHEL5)
Error: Missing Dependency: python-uuid is needed by package python-gofer-2.7.5-1.el5.noarch (Spring_Katello_Katello_Community_for_RHEL5)

It seems to be missed for python-gofer-2.7.5-1.el5.noarch :
python-uuid
python-hashlib

They aren’t in the repos unfortunately :sob:
How can could I do ?

Regards,

@gnutux95 those packages are provided by EPEL for EL5. You’ll need to enable it for your clients and that should get things going for you.

Hello Jonathon,
Thank you.

Finally, I use katello-agent from an old source satellite tools 6.2 (even in end of support) on RHEL5.

Regards,
GNUTux95
