PXE Install and Python Error [RESOLVED]

Post by gw1500se » 2014/12/07 15:47:12

I am trying to set up a PXE install and am having a problem with python. I am assuming it is part of the base as I do not explicitly request it. However, the install fails with the error:

Code: Select all

15:22:11,880 DEBUG packaging: buildTransaction = (1, [u'python-pyparsing-1.5.6-2.el6.rf.noarch requires python(abi) = 2.6'])
15:22:11,880 WARN packaging: python-pyparsing-1.5.6-2.el6.rf.noarch requires python(abi) = 2.6
That should be a part of the python base install so I don't understand what the complaint it. Does anyone have any suggestions? TIA.

You're either posting in the wrong section (in which case I'll move it to the right one) or you've mixed your repo sources up. That's an el6 package intended for CentOS 6 and you have posted in the CentOS 7 section. Either point to the correct CentOS 7 repo or let me know that this is for CentOS6 and I will move the thread...
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

This is indeed CentOS 7 I'm trying to install. I will investigate this further. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Also, that is not a CentOS repo, but repoforge.

Found it. Typo in one of the repo references in the kickstart file. Thanks.
