Unable to install OMSA on CentOS 6.1

When running 'yum install srvadmin-all' it fails with the below error.

I ran "yum clean all" prior to attempting the install,

 

Error: Package: python-smbios-2.2.27-4.9.1.el6.x86_64 (@dell-omsa-indep)
Requires: libsmbios = 2.2.27-4.9.1.el6
Removing: libsmbios-2.2.27-4.9.1.el6.x86_64 (@dell-omsa-indep)
libsmbios = 2.2.27-4.9.1.el6
Obsoleted By: srvadmin-omilcore-9.3.0-3465.14818.el6.x86_64 (dell-system-update_dependent)
Not found
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Hello,

 

OMSA isn't officially supported in CentOS. It should be able to work, but assistance is limited.

 

That out of the way, it looks to me that we have a pair of packages conflicting. Reading the error message, this is my interpretation:

 

"Package python-smbios-2.2.27-4.9.1.el6.x86_64 (which comes from repository dell-omsa-indep) requires this file:
libsmbios 2.2.27-4.9.1.el6
 
So, I'll get rid of a file that looks so very much like that except it doesn't have .x86_64 at the end. That one came from dell-omsa-indep, too.
 
We have a better one that matches what we're after from dell-system-update_dependent that we can use.
 
... but we can't find it. "
 
 

Do you have Dell System Update installed? With the Yum clean all not working, I'd be considering either of the following:

 

1) Removing DSU entirely, installing OMSA, then reinstalling DSU, or

 

2) Updating DSU, then installing OMSA. 

 

You might even try the skip-broken command. Since other Dell software seems to be using it, it may work.

 

Let me know if this helps.
