Environment

  • RH Solution ID 3673971 cites this issue, however with different rpm versions

Issue

When attempting to install (or possibly upgrade) Red Hat Satellite in a disconnected environment, you may receive dependency errors regarding the selinux-policy package when running install_packages command from the mounted Satellite ISO:

Error: Package: foreman-selinux-1.20.0-1.el7sat.noarch (satellite-local)
Requires: selinux-policy >= 3.13.1-229.el7_6.5
Installed: selinux-policy-3.13.1-229.el7.noarch (@anaconda/7.6)
The error is repeated for pulp-selinux and candlepin-selinux.

Resolution

Either upgrade the underlying operating system to RHEL 7.7 using a current RHEL ISO or if a new server, build with a RHEL 7.7 Server ISO/DVD. Bottom line, use or upgrade to RHEL 7.7 first.

This is not a Red Hat solution. This is the Red Hat Discussion area. This was written due to the experience cited at the RH Discussion where resolution for this was experienced/cited.
