RHEL7 device-mapper rpm

[GZU]

Hi VB,

As far as I can see there is no device-mapper 1.02.97 rpm package in RHEL7/Centos7/SL7 yet.
Therefore the dependency problem below if using the VB repositories

Thanks for looking at this issue,

I'm having this problem too. Can't even install Virtual Box let alone upgrade it.

The problem seems to be that for some reaons the VirtualBox-5.0.12_104815 packages require a newer version of a device mapper lib.

I have found a fix for my Scientific Linux distribution:

Code: Select all

yum --enablerepo=sl-rolling* upgrade device-mapper*

That updated the device-mapper packages from the Rolling repo (which is like the Rawhide repo from RedHat).
As this is a development box I don't mind having unstable packages on there for a short time.

Same here on a standard RHEL7:

[root@mpfuetzn lib]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 7.1 (Maipo)
[root@mpfuetzn lib]#

Might it be, that VBox now only supports RHEL 7.2?
