Description

Hi,

It's not possible to install rudder-agent, rudder-agent-thin is always selected instead due to the Obsoletes.

# yum install rudder-agent
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Setting up Install Process
Package rudder-agent is obsoleted by rudder-agent-thin, trying to install 1398866025:rudder-agent-thin-2.11.0.beta1-1.EL.6.x86_64 instead
[...]

You should replace the "Obsoletes: rudder-agent" in rudder-agent-thin/SOURCES/patches/rudder-agent-thin/0002-rudder-agent-to-rudder-agent-thin-spec.patch with a "Conflicts: rudder-agent". AFAIK, Obsoletes will always select the new package instead of the old, whereas conflicts will prevent both to be installed at the same time, but allow installing any of them. I think this is what you meant.

Thanks.
