Installation of umd-release package

Check that this is indeed happening on a host with no previous version of the package installed.

[root@el7.host noarch]# rpm -qa | grep umd

After downloading the package locally we install it:

[root@el7.host noarch]# yum localinstall umd-release-4.1.2-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm 
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Complete!

After the installation we check the contents of the /etc/yum.repos.d/ folder:

[root@el7.host noarch]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[root@el7.host yum.repos.d]# ls
CentOS-Base.repo       CentOS-Sources.repo           UMD-4-base.repo

baseurl=http://repository.egi.eu/sw/production/umd/4/centos7/$basearch/base

enabled=1
# To use priorities you must have yum-priorities installed
priority=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://repository.egi.eu/sw/production/umd/UMD-RPM-PGP-KEY

We now check the contents of the priorities.conf file:

[root@el7.host yum.repos.d]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf 
[main]
# added by the umd-release package
check_obsoletes = 1
enabled = 1

Everything has worked as expected.

We check to see that the extra lines within the priorities.conf file have been removed:

[root@el7.host yum.repos.d]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf 
[main]
enabled = 1

Again, everything played out as expected.

Check the contents of the prioirities.conf file:

[root@el7.host noarch]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf 
[main]
enabled = 1

We note that there is a problem is the priorities.conf file, in that the check_obsoletes flag has been removed. This should not have happened. To work around it site administrators will need to be cautious not to upgrade the file but rather to uninstall the old version and then install the latest one available from repository.egi.eu!
