  • 1.  salt requirements

    Posted Fri September 25, 2020 05:37 AM
    Hello Team,

    I just found a problem with the package requirements in salt.

    "Requires: yum-utils"

    As we are migrating to dnf there is no yum-utils anymore.

    My question so is: What is yum-utils needed for and can I remove this requirement without getting problems with salt?

    Many thanks in advance,

    best regards
    Joerg

    salt has a interface to yum and due to that it requires yum-utils.
    https://salt-zh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.yumpkg.html

    If you are not using this module, then yum-utils is not required.
