Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to report that since a few days our automated Eos client installation for CentOS 7 started failing.
I was installing version 5.1.21, but had the same issue also with version 5.1.30. Once you try to install the package eos-client you end up with this error
Error: Package: eos-client-5.1.30-1.el7.cern.x86_64 (eos-diopside-testing)
Requires: eos-protobuf3 >= 3.3
Available: eos-protobuf3-3.17.3-1.el7.cern.eos.x86_64 (eos-diopside-dep)
eos-protobuf3 = 3.17.3-1.el7.cern.eos
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I guess this is due to the fact that eos-protobuf3 has been obsoleted by eos-grpc (probably to prepare for version 5.2.0)
# yum install eos-protobuf3
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, tsflags, versionlock
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: centos.mirror.garr.it
* extras: centos.mirror.garr.it
* updates: centos.mirror.garr.it
Package eos-protobuf3 is obsoleted by eos-grpc, trying to install eos-grpc-1.56.1-1.el7.x86_64 instead

Is this ok [y/d/N]: n
To work around this dependency issue, I have created a new yum configuration, containing the flag obsoletes=0, and while running the eos-client installation I use this custom yum config instead of the default one.
Hope it helps
