If you use the EPEL repository, please read https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-announce/2014-November/000032.html TL;DR: There are a large number of orphaned/unmaintained packages in EPEL across the 5, 6, and 7 trees. These packages will be removed from EPEL unless they are picked up by a packager. Packages that *depend* on an orphaned package will be removed as well to ensure repo-closure. Please review the package lists to see if something you use is impacted. If you're impacted and you have the required skills, please consider taking over ownership of the package. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

I expect that this package cannot be updated from now on, but I hope that nothing catastrophic for an existing installation happens. Is that assumption correct? best regards --- Michael Schumacher
