Does anyone know what’s up with:

Error: Package: marco-1.8.3-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libgtop-2.0.so.10()(64bit)

Isn’t the EPEL package built against stock CentOS?

  • Thanks, but it doesn’t help to –enablerepo=epel-testing. The libgtop2 package should be from the base repo anyway.

  • So… the right thing to do for someone who just wants to update a system today would be???

  • It’s not so much a matter of having a “view” of CR as that I didn’t expect things to appear in EPEL that depend on base versions that aren’t in general release yet. Is that intentional, and don’t some number of people have to approve something before it gets out of epel-testing? Does everyone else have cr enabled?

  • See my other post to this list. EPEL is written for and built against RHEL, which is on 7.1. You will either have to wait until we release our 7.1, use CR or buy RHEL.

  • That makes sense – but it also makes it an ongoing issue for CentOS
    users to expect. It’s not a serious problem for me, but it would be a bad first experience with CentOS if someone tries to install a system with MATE Desktop today.

  • I understand that and believe me, we are working on the next release of CentOS as fast as we can. But, it takes time and I have no control over what they build EPEL against OR when they release things in it.

    We are testing what we hope is our final tree right now in QA .. hopefully we will have a release in the next couple of days.
