Hello,
We have found a strange issue related with the lcg-util package in our
EMI2 WNs. The same last version of lcg-util package is available in both
repositories (1.13.9).
After some problems with Atlas jobs only in certain WNs (they were in
hold state for long time), we have discovered that the package
lcg-util-1.13.9-0.el5.x86_64 is not the same for EMI-2 and epel
repositories.
$ md5sum lcg-util-1.13.9-0.el5.x86_64.rpm-epel
dffc87cb494bb7d5c1f5c4c4317c1f5a lcg-util-1.13.9-0.el5.x86_64.rpm-epel
$ md5sum lcg-util-1.13.9-0.el5.x86_64.rpm-emi2
88fa157660d579006acf1977fb597454 lcg-util-1.13.9-0.el5.x86_64.rpm-emi2
So, we would like to know if you are aware of this issue. Maybe it is
not a relevant issue but we reinstalled the lcg-util package ensuring
that it came from EMI-2 repositories and the Atlas problem disappeared.
Although we have added a higher priority for EMI-2 repositories, it
seems that during the installation process, the epel repository is
generated before and, then, sometimes, the epel packages are installed
and not the EMI-2 ones. We are checking our Puppet configuration to
solve this problem.
Anyway, we are experiencing another problem related with lcg binaries
(the ops nagios test are flapping with the replicates and the reason is
really not clear) and we do not know if this problem is related with the
rest of lcg-util packages (libs and python).
In conclusion, we would like to ask what repository we should trust and
if anyone has found the same or similar problems.
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards,
Carles
