Unable to install bind-utils in RHEL 7.3, dependency error on bind-license

Question

I'm trying to install dig through bind-utils on an AWS EC2 RHEL 7.3 instance, but I get a dependency error.

Requires: bind-license = 32:9.9.4-37.el7

but

Installed: 32:bind-license-9.9.4-38.el7_3.noarch

I tried installing the required version like so since is is available, but without success:

[root@ip-171-32-49-95 tmp]# yum install bind-license-9.9.4-37.el7.noarch
Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb, search-disabled-repos
Package matching 32:bind-license-9.9.4-37.el7.noarch already installed. Checking for update.
Nothing to do

What gives? How can I get bind-utils to install here?

Here is the full transaction log:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Solution 1

rpm -e --nodeps bind-libs-lite bind-license
yum install bind-utils

Solution 2

I ran into this issue as well and found it was a specific package version. In file /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat-rhui.repo under [rhui-REGION-rhel-server-optional] I added the line: exclude=32:bind-devel-9.9.4-50.el7_3.1.x86_64

Block your version and section accordingly.
