package dependency failure when using centos7/katello/freeipa

[Rob Verduijn]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get katello (running on centos7) to work with freeipa and
libvirt.

Now I got libvirt already configured to accept kerberized authentication
using sasl and gssapi.
Now I want to try to get the foreman (katello) to use a keytab through
gssproxy, but sadly ran into a dependency problem with the gssproxy package.

I wanted to try to use gssproxy, since the suggesyed solution using a
ssh-key that grants root access without password is kinda ugly if you ask
me ( remote root via ssh beeing one fo the uglies, full root acces when
only libvirt access is required beeing another ).
explained here :
http://theforeman.org/manuals/1.6/index.html#5.2.5LibvirtNotes

When I try to install gssproxy on my katello machine it tells me that it
only works with a specific version of certain packages :

Error: Package: gssproxy-0.3.0-9.el7.x86_64 (base)
           Requires: libcollection.so.2()(64bit)
           Available: libcollection-0.6.2-22.el7.x86_64 (base)
               libcollection.so.2()(64bit)
           Installed: libcollection-0.6.2-23.el7.centos.x86_64
(@adelton-identity_demo)
              ~libcollection.so.4()(64bit)
Error: Package: gssproxy-0.3.0-9.el7.x86_64 (base)
           Requires: libini_config.so.3()(64bit)
           Available: libini_config-1.0.0.1-22.el7.x86_64 (base)
               libini_config.so.3()(64bit)
           Installed: libini_config-1.1.0-23.el7.centos.x86_64
(@adelton-identity_demo)
              ~libini_config.so.5()(64bit

Ofcourse this is not so weird since katello requires quite a few non
default repositories to work properly and even some more if you wish to
integrate it with freeipa.

The culprit in this case is the 'adelton-identity_demo' repository which is
required to get the authentication from freeipa to work in katello.
( explained here :
http://theforeman.org/manuals/1.6/index.html#5.7.3KerberosSingleSign-On )

So the two packages are libcollection and libini_config

As you can see below they are both from the adelton repo.

Since they are both only a minor realease above the required package, does
it break gssproxy if I ignore those dependencies ?
