CentOS 6.4, can't install new version of Varnish

tehwaffle · 10-26-2013, 08:36 AM

Hello,

I'm trying to install Varnish according to this, when I run this:

Code:

rpm --nosignature -i http://repo.varnish-cache.org/redhat/varnish-3.0/el6/noarch/varnish-release/varnish-release-3.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm

It will create the /etc/yum.repos.d/varnish.repo file.
When I run yum install varnish, it will still attempt to install the old version of Varnish, 2.1.5-1.el6.

Could someone help me out? I'm confused.

Are you still having this problem? I just tried and I didn't experience it.

Yes, I still get this.
Here the output:

Code:

Is this ok [y/N]:

I think I have spotted the problem; I have underlined it below:

You have the epel repository installed, which is taking a higher priority than the varnish one. I would be cautious when you run updates to make sure libraries and binaries available through epel do not conflict with your Varnish install.

To work around and install Varnish from their repository this is what I would do, temporary disable the epel repository:

Code:

# yum --disablerepo=epel* --enablerepo=varnish* install varnish

Good luck!
