installation failure on rhel 7.1: failed dependency: python-jinja2

[Shili Yang]

Hi,

I am trying to install Ansible on a RHEL 7.1 VM, and hitting the (last) outstanding dependency:

-bash-4.2# rpm -Uvh ./rpm-build/ansible-*.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        python-jinja2 is needed by ansible-2.0.0.2-0.git201601142217.7de237c.stable2001.el7.noarch

I've tried different ways to get jinja2:
1. via the tarball, which succeeded, but it doesn't seem to get recognized by Ansible:

Installed /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Jinja2-2.8.1_dev-py2.7.egg
Processing dependencies for Jinja2==2.8.1-dev
Searching for MarkupSafe==0.23
Best match: MarkupSafe 0.23
Processing MarkupSafe-0.23-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg
MarkupSafe 0.23 is already the active version in easy-install.pth

Using /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/MarkupSafe-0.23-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg
Finished processing dependencies for Jinja2==2.8.1-dev
-bash-4.2#

2. via easy_install, but seems to hit a SSL bug due to proxy server

/root/jinja/jinja2
-bash-4.2# easy_install python-jinja2
Searching for python-jinja2
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/python-jinja2/

How can I proceed? Thanks a lot!

Is this not available from EPEL? Install the package epel-release and
then try again.

Or mayb just try installing the local rpm with yum, to get all
dependecies resolved.

Thanks very much for looking into this and your suggestion, Johannes.

I've tried the following, but it didn't help:

-bash-4.2# yum install epel-release
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.
localrepo                                                                                            | 2.9 kB  00:00:00
rhel-x86_64-server-7                                                                                 | 1.5 kB  00:00:00
rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-7                                                                       | 1.3 kB  00:00:00
Package epel-release-7-5.noarch already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
-bash-4.2#

I read somewhere that the package has been moved from epel to 'optional' repository, but I don't have any optional repository from my Satellite Server, or I just didn't set it up properly?

Where can I get a RPM for to install locally?

Thanks!
