dell yum causing issues

Hello


in the last 30 days yum update is no longer working on centos 6 machines with this error:

-> Processing Dependency: libsmbios = 2.2.27-4.12.1.el6 for package: python-sm
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: python-smbios-2.2.27-4.12.1.el6.x86_64 (@dell-omsa-indep)
           Requires: libsmbios = 2.2.27-4.12.1.el6
           Removing: libsmbios-2.2.27-4.12.1.el6.x86_64 (@dell-omsa-indep)
               libsmbios = 2.2.27-4.12.1.el6
           Updated By: libsmbios-2.2.27-1908.9058.el6.x86_64 (dell-omsa-indep)
               libsmbios = 2.2.27-1908.9058.el6
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

this is related to dell's repository, can this be fixed and let me know once done?

Hi,

What model server is it? Does --skip-broken work?

Hello,

we have the same problem (Dell PowerEdge R720, Centos 6.7). Skip broken allows to update some packages but 42 packages cannot be updated.

Regards,

Alan

Same here 

Dell Inc. PowerEdge R420/0JD6X3, BIOS 2.1.2 01/20/2014

CentOS release 6.7 (Final)

Have Dell taken ownership of this ?

Same problem here on two machines.  Both systems are R720 machines running CentOS 6x.
