elyscape reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following: `` #### Describe the issue The releases of RHEL and CentOS 7.5 (and likely earlier versions) brought with them new packages that were previously provided by EPEL7. Some of these are still present in EPEL, potentially causing conflicts. Particularly problematic are various packages that are provided in EPEL as python2-* and provided in upstream as python-*. While fully-overlapping names are suboptimal, these partially-overlapping names that provide the same actual package leads to issues like [certbot #6314][certbot] and [RHBZ #1578071][bugzilla].
I have attached 4 files containing lists of problematic packages:
filename|description|impact if unresolved -|-|- base-and-updates-full.txt|EPEL7 packages also in upstream base or updates|moderate base-and-updates-partial.txt|EPEL7 packages also in upstream base or updates as python-*|significant extras-full.txt|EPEL7 packages also in upstream extras|moderate extras-partial.txt|EPEL78 packages also in upstream extras as python-*|significant
#### When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD) No specific date, but sooner is better.
#### When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD) N/A
#### If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact? EPEL-provided packages with full name overlap may potentially override upstream packages. EPEL-provided packages with partial name overlap may cause issues like [certbot #6314][certbot] and [RHBZ #1578071][bugzilla].

Some of these are definitely not for removal... ansible was dropped from extras, the pidgin packages I think we added because RHEL dropped an api other packages needed, and some are likely limited arch packages. We just have to sort out which of these matter...
Perhaps we could look at the ones causing issues first? ``

base-and-updates-partial.txt doesn't seem to load?
That's frustrating. I appear to have deleted it from my local system. I'll regenerate it and post it shortly.
Perhaps we could look at the ones causing issues first?
The ones causing issues are primarily the ones in base-and-updates-partial.txt and extras-partial.txt. ``
