CentOS7.5 Update Repo 20.9.2018 doubled rpms

[frankwinkler]

Currently we got errors on kickstart installation of CentOS 7.5 with spacewalk2.5/2.6: Package 770/1324 (kexec-tools) can not be downloaded.
The problem seems to be caused by doubled rpms (with same version/name but different build dates) in different CentOS7.5 repos (os and update).
These rpms in update repo were delivered on 20th of August 2018.
E.g. rpm kexec-tools rpm:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.5.180 ... x86_64.rpm
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.5.180 ... x86_64.rpm
and tuned rpm
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.5.180 ... noarch.rpm
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.5.180 ... noarch.rpm
There are perhaps more.

Was it really intended ???

That looks wrong. Please raise a bug on https://bugs.centos.org and I will ping the maintainer to get this fixed.

Thanks for the question.

I found the issue (they released those two updates to the c7-alt tree .. our builder built them for the c7 tree).

I am fixing the issue now and will change some scripting to prevent it in the future.
