Just FYI: current update seams to break NUT dependancies

[FritzGerald]

Just a short informational update. Current xcp-ng update seems to break nut dependancies.

Error: Package: nut-2.8.0-2.el7.x86_64 (@epel)

Since NUT is an "external" package and everyone was warned about installing "3rd-party" packages, this is not an official xcp-ng problem. I have not yet found a workaround. Since the old repos EPEL 7 are not really updated, it could get tricky. I just wanted to let you know.

@FritzGerald workaround

yum update --exclude=net-snmp*

You made my day. Works fine and I have learned something new. Thank you for your quick help!

I'm having the same problem. I could never get NUT to work properly anyways. What's the best way to uinstal it?

It looks like "yum remove nut" does the trick.
