Problem installing nethserver 6 rpm onto fresh centos 6.8

Support
1

I install CentOs 6.8 minimal install. ok I have network and update. When I try
yum localinstall -y http://mirror.nethserver.org/nethserver/nethserver-release-6.rpm

I get:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

    Error: Package: nethserver-release-6.8-1.ns6.noarch (/nethserver-release-6)
    Requires: nethserver-firewall-base
    You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Can you help me?

I don’t know why nethserver-firewall-base is a dependency, probably it should be removed.

As workaround download nethserver-release locally then install it with rpm, ignoring the dependencies.

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
nethserver-release-6.8-1.ns6.noarch from /nethserver-release-6

Same here. Also @Vinny74 found the same problem some days back.

This can help:

Download nethserver-release rpm:

curl -O http://mirror.nethserver.org/nethserver/nethserver-release-6.rpm

Install rpm package (you may get an error about gpg keys):

rpm -i --nodeps nethserver-release-6.rpm

Install NethServer:

nethserver-install

Remove downloaded package once successfully installed:

rm nethserver-release-6.rpm

@vores, you’re welcome. Thanks to @davidep who brought us the solution.

@davidep, line 14 of nethserver-release.spec file for v6.8 contains: Requires: nethserver-firewall-base
