Hi,

Why not just remove every xrootd component from UMD repos and use EPEL 
for installaing xrootd as this is the official source. Things both in 
EPEL and UMD have already been a source of pain (in particular because 
they often have conflicting requirements)... Having xrootd in UMD had a 
sense when there was no official RPMs for xrootd but there are now since 
at least one year...

Cheers,

Michel
