yum install salt-master fails

[Don]

I've attempted to install salt to a test VM.

I register my VM to RHN and able to load patches and install packages with dependancies, such as Apache using the command "yum install httpd"

I installed epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm succesfully.

I run "yum install salt-master" and it fails. Not sure why it's not installing the dependancies, any suggestions?

what is the output of:

yum repolist

[Corey Quinn]

Does "yum install python-jinja2" work?

[Thomas S Hatch]

Looks like this is the problem, an EPEL bug!

http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/python-jinja2-26.html

python-jinja2 is named python-jinja2-26

[Thomas S Hatch]

Try to manually install the el6 package for python-jinja2 from koji:

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/python-jinja2/2.5.5/5.el6/noarch/python-jinja2-2.5.5-5.el6.noarch.rpm

then yum install salt again, this might get you past this until the EPEL guys can take a look

[Don]

First ran the command "yum install python-jinja2" and received: No package python-jinja2 available.

Second, I ran "yum install python-jinja2-26"  It installed 3 packages succesfully: python-babel, python-markupsafe and python-jinja2-26

3rd, I attempted to install salt; "yum install salt-master". But I receive the same error as before, see output.

No, the yum said there is no package by that name:  output: No package python-jinja2 available.

That's odd - it is in Centos which should be a strict clone of packages.

# yum info python-jinja2

We found that I needed to have  in RHN, RHEL Server Optional channel enabled for Redhat 6 minions (wasn't enabled by default). Redhat moved the file python-jinja2 from epel to the RHN Optional channel.  This option isn't needed for Redhat 5. The python-jinja2 file is still located in the epel5 repository.

 

Thank you Clint for figuring it out.

This worked for me as well
