[HTCondor-users] HTCondor and Red Hat 7.4 upgrade

[Tim Theisen <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our friends at the OSG (Open Science Grid) have noticed difficulties
when upgrading to Red Hat 4 and upgrading HTCondor within a single yum
command. There seems to be an interaction with the update of the system
SELinux profile and HTCondor's type enforcement rules. The result is an
HTCondor installation that will not start up. If you upgrade
sequentially, first one and then the other (in either order), the
problem does not occur. If you have a broken HTCondor installation, we
believe that reinstalling HTCondor will fix the problem. We will post
more information as it becomes available.
