Troubleshooting

Quick fix for installing python2-certbot-dns-route53 (python2-boto3) in CentOS 7

by , , revisited on


We have by far the largest RPM repository with NGINX module packages and VMODs for Varnish. If you want to install NGINX, Varnish, and lots of useful performance/security software with smooth yum upgrades for production use, this is the repository for you.
Active subscription is required.

;tldr

yum --enablerepo=epel-testing install python2-boto3

For previous, fix, read below:

yum install --setopt=obsoletes=0 python2-certbot-dns-route53

If you’re here then you want to install python2-certbot-dns-route53 (or anything that depends on python2-boto3) and it fails due to the yum error:

yum install python2-certbot-dns-route53

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

The key issue here is:

Package python2-s3transfer is obsoleted by python-s3transfer, but obsoleting package does not provide for requirements

And it has been filed as a bug here. But if you want to resolve this earlier, and be able to install your stuff, you can! Just run:

    On a CentOS 7.5 system, running

    yum –enablerepo=epel-testing -y install python2-boto3
    yum –enablerepo=epel -y install certbot python2-certbot-dns-route53

    completes without errors, but ‘certbot –version’ (or –anything) dies with

    An unexpected error occurred:
    VersionConflict: (s3transfer 0.0.1 (/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages), Requirement.parse(‘s3transfer>=0.1.10,<0.2.0’))

    What did I miss?

      Tried it on 7.6 without issue. Looks like your python-s3transfer is too old,
      so you can try upgrading it first:

      yum update python2-s3transfer 
      

      Or

      yum update python2-s3transfer
      

      Verify what is your package version with yum list installed | grep s3transfer.

      If certbot reports that your current version is 0.0.1 but yum says otherwise, then you likely have screwed your system by doing things like pip install (which is a no-no) as root.
      If that is so, then you can see this post for resolution – basically doing the fix for consequences of playing with pip as root.
