Rudder

Just noticed that rudder-inventory-ldap is being installed on some newly deployed CentOS nodes. At first I thought rudder-agent depends on it, but this is not the case AFAICS. As far as I can tell the only reason for it getting installed may be that the package provides openldap libraries:

$ rpm -q rudder-inventory-ldap --provides
...
liblber-2.4.so.2()(64bit)  
libldap-2.4.so.2()(64bit)
...

Packages that depend on those libraries:

I'm thinking, because we deploy with cobbler and rudder repos are available during initial kickstart, rudder-inventory-ldap may be getting picked up instead of openldap for some of those reverse deps. I'm not entirely sure though, as openldap is also being installed, but that could be because some packages have more specific dependencies.

I know those provides are automatically generated by some RPM "magic", so I'm not sure if anything can be done about this, so this is more of a question. Has anybody any ideas?
