Additional info:
Comment 1 Tuomo Soini 2016-12-20 11:46:47 UTC 
Paul: you fixed this before by removing that kmod requirement.
Comment 2 Paul Stauffer 2016-12-20 13:09:16 UTC 
Note that the broken package is in the release "epel" repo, not just in "epel-testing", so production systems are seeing this as well.

FWIW, here's the changelog line Tuomo is referring to:

* Fri Oct 31 2014 Paul Wouters <pwouters> - 1.3.6-7
- Remove kmod require, not recognised and l2tp_ppp.ko is in core kernel package now
Comment 3 Tuomo Soini 2016-12-20 13:50:53 UTC 
Yes. This needs priority fixing without 2 weeks waiting time.
Comment 4 Daniel Needles 2016-12-22 00:12:48 UTC 
I am seeing this problem when trying to set up MATE on CentOS 7.

To reproduce:
1.	Install CentOS 7.3.1611 (Minimal)
2.	Yum -y groupinstall “Development Tools”
3.	Yum -y install epel-release
4.	Yum -Y groupinstall “X Windows system”
5.	Yum -Y groupinstall “MATE Desktop”
Comment 5 Zane Zak 2016-12-22 04:16:07 UTC 
Getting this upgrading from CentOS 7.2 to 7.3. Same scenerio as Daniel above.
Comment 6 Andrew Gormanly 2016-12-22 16:09:01 UTC 
Steps to reproduce: yum upgrade

This breaks patching of boxes, and auto-patching, and as such the Severity should be at least Medium.

Awesome!  Thanks!!
Comment 10 Gordon Messmer 2016-12-28 06:05:33 UTC 
I tested the update and provided karma.  It looks like more karma is required before it is pushed to the updates tree.

Hi mate,

Changing my Epel repo to the testing branch let me install MATE.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/testing
Turn on : 
yum-config-manager --enable epel-testing 
Turn off :
yum-config-manager --disable epel-testing

Comment 12 Daniel Needles 2016-12-28 18:16:11 UTC 
Jim great workaround!  I skipped the module but that was not ideal.  In another note I think the "low" severity isn't warranted given the nature of the issue on EPEL production.  In most environments I've been in they would have rolled back the original change immediately rather than wait over a week for a patch.
Comment 13 Rafal Luzynski 2017-01-04 15:35:17 UTC
