Resolution

This package (sssd-tools) is intended to be shipped in the optional repository, not the base repository. Enable the optional repository and install sssd-tools.

  • To enable the repository, run the below command.
# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
  • To install the package sssd-tools, run the below command.
# yum install sssd-tools

Root Cause

  • It is observed, during RHEL-6.8.Z phase the sssd-tools package which should be only in Optional channel was mistakenly added to the base RHEL channel/repository.

  • As a correction, location for sssd-tools package is and will be Optional repository and all versions of the sssd-tools package are available in the Optional repository only.

  • Component
  • yum
