PCP won't install via RPM on CentOS 7 via bintray repo

[jwhite530]

The repo appears to be broken. I cannot install PCP packages:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

I have tried specifying exact version of all the packages I need, tried downgrading, tried removing and installing again, nothing. Every single time yum complains it can't do what I asked. When I went to the repo in a browser every package gives "The requested path was not found." when I try to download it.

@jwhite530 I suspect this may be fallout from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1350301

Can you "rpm -e pcp-pmda-systemd" and see if that clears up the problem when you subsequently upgrade?

[jwhite530]

I removed pcp-pmda-systemd via yum before you posted that and it did work around the issue. So the pcp-pmda-systemd package is missing/broken which in turn causes everything else PCP to break since yum wants to update everything but can't update pcp-pmda-systemd?

[natoscott]

Yes, I think that is whats happened here - because of that systemd pkg-config change, we end up no longer building pcp-pmda-systemd in some places that we would have previously.

@kmcdonell has fixed this in commit 2fed192 which will re-enable this package in places it has been accidentally dropped, from pcp-3.11.5
