ebextensions: yum does not install package
According to the docs:
Packages are processed in the following order: rpm, yum, and then rubygems and python.
Elastic beanstalk first processes your rpm package, causing the error and never gets to the yum packages.
There are a few ways to solve this.
1) Run the rpm install through a command like
commands:
install_wkhtmltox:
command: yum -y install https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/myS3Account/wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-centos5-amd64.rpm
This should automatically solve dependencies through yum.
2) Split the .ebextensions files to two: 01_install_dependencies.config and 02_install_wkhtmltox.config. In the 01-file install yum packages, in the 02 file install the rpm. This way you can "override" the package installation order

I am trying to make an ebextensions file which will install wkhtmltopdf.
Currently it looks like this:
packages: yum: xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi: [] libpng: [] xz: [] urw-fonts: [] libXext: [] openssl-devel: [] libXrender: [] rpm: wkhtmltopdf: https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/myS3Account/wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-centos5-amd64.rpm
In this case, wkthmltopdf fails to install. I get the following error:
Failed dependencies: xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi is needed by wkhtmltox-1:0.12.2.1-1.x86_64
If I use SSH to connect to my EC2 instance, I can sucessfully install wkhtml by manually running "yum install xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi", followed by "wget wkthmltopdf-..." and "rpm --install wkhtmltopdf-..". If I skip the yum step, rpm complains that wkhtmltopdf needs the xorg package.
It seems like xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi is not installed by ebextensions on deploy. Am I doing something wrong?
