Either wait until tfm-rubygem-qpid_proton for 0.35.0 is available or use --skip-broken as suggested. That should block out the qpid-proton-c update to 0.35.0 for the meantime.
Argh. Yeah, this bit me today trying to do a simple monthly OS patch via yum update on my Katello 4.2-rc1 server.
Using --skip-broken DOES indeed work (98% of the time for me in other situations, --skip-broken just makes things worse, hahahahaha)
So yeah, hopefully in a month the corresponding package(s) will be updated and this will no longer be an issue.
Iām still having a ton of errors. How can I tell the foreman-installer to skip broken packages?

and more and more....
Or maybe I should install katello with yum --skip-broken and after that rerun the foreman-installe?
Did you stop all foreman services before running foreman-installer as suggested in the upgrade docs?
I didnāt. Now I did and rerun the installer. Same result.
Thatās odd. Where are those repositories āepel7-centos7-x86_64ā and others coming from? Those are not standard names from the official release repositories thus I have assumed you are connected to your own katello server (the one you are updating).
I am connected to the Spacewak that Iām going to replace with Katello.
O.K. Make sure to disable epel before running foreman-installer. foreman-installer runs yum update at some point and if there is something broken then itās going to pop up.
Nah, EPEL is required on EL7 installs, sadly.
And yes. EPEL updated qpid-proton again, and we need to fix our packages (again).
I am currently getting:
Error: Package: tfm-rubygem-qpid_proton-0.34.0-3.el7.x86_64 (Katello_main)
Requires: qpid-proton-c = 0.34.0
Available: qpid-proton-c-0.35.0-1.el7.x86_64 (EPEL)
qpid-proton-c = 0.35.0-1.el7
Iām quite frustrated. I reinstalled CentOS 7 from scratch, followed the instructions and when I run the Foreman installer with Katello scenario, I get the same errors about tfm-rubygem-qpid_proton-0.34.0-3.el7.x86_64.
Is there any way I can pass --skip-broken to yum when Foreman is doing his stuff?

There were errors detected during install.
While not a solution for everyone, for a fresh installation today Iād pick EL8 and not EL7 (see Deprecation plans for EL7, Debian 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 as well).
Hi @ekohl,
An operating system like Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 that is still supported by the vendor for more than 2 years is to be be considered obsolete?
This the first time I see developers that wish to drop support of a supported operating system
In general it is other way around, that a software vendor does not want to support a newer version of an operating system.
Do I understand your post correctly: āAdmins running Foreman+Katello on EL7 get stuck here?ā
Regards,
Jan Gerrit
You shouldnāt have done that. Now you have lost qpid-proton-c-0.34.0. EPEL 7 doesnāt keep older versions, so now with a fresh installation you only have qpid-proton-c-0.35.0-1.el7.x86_64 in epel and you cannot install 0.34.0 anymore.
So, either you wait until tfm-rubygem-qpid_proton for 0.35.0 is available or you search if you can find qpid-proton-c 0.34.0 somewhere to download and install it on your system. You probably also need python36-qpid-proton.x86_64 for 0.34.0. After you have manually installed it you should be able to run foreman-installer after you have disabled the epel repository.
If the foreman-installer is missing some other packages from epel you have to install from epel and then run foreman-installer again until you have everything for foreman-installer to finish successfully. But I donāt know if itās worth on a fresh installation on el7. Itās easier if itās an upgrade from a previous version because then most packages are already installed.

I had the same issueā¦
To avoid this, I did :
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/q/qpid-proton-c-0.34.0-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh qpid-proton-c-0.34.0-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
and I reran the installer.

@jgkootstra Please move EL7 deprecation discussion over to the RFC.
Maybe I should have mentioned that it would be a good workaround in the short term until the packaging issue is resolved.
ok
Thank you sir! I successfully installed Katello.
Update: I was no longer able to get the package from the URL posted by @denicfr, but I was able to find this one:
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/archive.fedoraproject.org/epel/8.3.2021-05-20/Everything/x86_64/Packages/q/qpid-proton-c-0.34.0-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
FWIW, you can get the builds directly from Fedoraās Koji at qpid-proton-0.34.0-2.el7 | Build Info | koji
