Plugins » Katello

I'm following instructions on http://www.katello.org/docs/3.0/installation/index.html step by step, but installation of katello fails with dependency problems.

I've tried on CentOS 7.2 and RHEL 7.0 (I have a subscription for RHEL 7 but not for Satellite), the same issue. See below:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo)

# yum -y install katello
[...]

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

It looks to me like there is a problem with yum priorities, a qpid-cpp-client package should be pulled from katello-pulp repository and not epel.
