non-existing packages in Base group

[tolid]

Hi,

We are running CentOS 6.8 on our workstations and I noticed that some packages which are removed from CentOS still be present in, for example, Base group. It generates warning/error messages in our internal scripts which use a group's packages list.
How I can remove these packages from the group description? Ideally it should be fixed in CentOS itself but I am looking for a quick solution for our stations.
This is the list of non existing packages:
abrt-plugin-mailx
abrt-plugin-sosreport
openssl-ibmca
redhat-access-insights

What are you doing at the time you see the warnings? I tried using yum list and it just says the packages don't exist (they don't).

The idea is to keep a consistent state of software on the workstations: originally we used "yum groupinstall abc" for installation.
Now we run a script which compares list of packages from "yum groupinfo" and list of installed packages. It will try to reinstall a package if the package is listed in "yum groupinfo" but not installed.

Yeah. Which groups?

group Base, as I wrote before

Code: Select all

>yum groupinfo Base
  ....
Group: Base
 Description: The basic installation of CentOS Linux.
 Mandatory Packages:
   ...
 Default Packages:
   ...
   abrt-plugin-mailx
   ...
   openssl-ibmca
   ...
   redhat-access-insights
   ...

Solved by the modified script.
Sad it can't be fix on a higher level.

You need to raise a bug on bugs.centos.org - it took me a while to find the person responsible as there were various conferences going on last week.
