OSP tools on RHEL6 / CentOS 6 update breakage

Hi,

I suspect this is a yum bug, introduced in RHEL6. This works fine on RHEL5 btw.

Have installed vmware tools and all kmods 9.0.1 from here:

Index of /45848/tools/esx

Update is from 5.1p01/ to 5.1u1/

When updating the tools to 9.0.5 yum bails out with broken depencies but installs fine when doing a fresh install;

means all dependencies are met but yum fails.

What is the easiest way to work around this issue?

Thx

Rainer
