incorrect version of yum-utils

[Léon Keijser]

Hi,

I've just updated cobbler to cobbler-1.6.3-2.el5 and ran `cobbler
check`. This reports among other things that:

#2: yum-utils need to be at least version 1.1.17 for reposync -l,
current version is 1.1.16

The box runs Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)

I've the latest updates from RHN and epel(-testing) but there's no
yum-utils higher than the one i have installed:

yum-utils-1.1.16-13.el5

I can of course bake my own yum-utils-1.1.17 rpm but i don't find this a
nice solution.

regards,

This only means your installed version of reposync has no "-l", option, 
and you need to remove this option from /etc/cobbler/settings.

IIRC, plugins were enabled by default on that older version, and it had 
no command line option "-l".

Perhaps the cobbler check message should recommend removing the "-l" 
from /etc/cobbler/settings in addition to what it already says.
