Description

The latest update to EPEL's nginx package is causing nginx's official RPM package to be overwritten:

OFFICIAL RPM:

$ rpm -qip ./nginx-1.10.2-1.el7.ngx.x86_64.rpm
warning: ./nginx-1.10.2-1.el7.ngx.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 7bd9bf62: NOKEY
Name : nginx
Epoch : 1

EPEL:

$ rpm -qpi ./nginx-1.10.2-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
Name : nginx
Epoch : 1
Version : 1.10.2
Release : 1.el7

Build Date : Mon 31 Oct 2016 12:39:41 PM UTC
Build Host : buildvm-11.phx2.fedoraproject.org

My suggestion is to make the official RPMs use EPOCH=2 to avoid this.

Unless the EPEL package is not being kept in sync with the official releases. But even then, it's a different delivery method (EPEL breaks the package into subpackages for the modules).

I don't think that changing Epoch will fix the problem here. Any time EPEL raises their own, we're in the same situation - so it's a mouse and a cat game nobody can win.

A proper solution for this specific case is not to mix the repositories; if that's impossible, use yum's priorities mechanism to adjust repos priorities. See https://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities for details on how to do that.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
