Yum fails on latest centos7 base image due to $releasever being invalid

[Stono]

Hi,
Can't use yum in the latest base image, rpm -q --qf '%{version}\n' centos-release is used by yum to calculate $releasever.

On the previous release:

[atcloud@sauron-web-5b699b9778-6c6zk app]$ rpm -q --qf '%{version}\n' centos-release
7

On the current release:

[root@0aaf79f74e0e app]# rpm -q --qf '%{version}\n' centos-release
package centos-release is not installed

I worked around this by doing echo 7 > /etc/yum/vars/releasever.

Oh! Thanks for your note. We will fix!

Okay, I've checked in your workaround and regenerated. gcr.io/gcp-runtimes/centos7:latest now shows [root@b62256e73472 /]# yum history Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, ovl ID | Command line | Date and time | Action(s) | Altered ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 | -y remove bind-libs bind | 2019-06-25 16:17 | Erase | 7 3 | -q -y erase kernel* *fir | 2019-06-25 16:17 | Erase | 4 2 | install -q -y bind-utils | 2019-06-25 16:16 | Install | 56 EE 1 | -q -y --installroot=/tar | 2019-06-25 16:15 | Install | 95 PP history list [root@b62256e73472 /]# rpm -q --qf '%{version}\n' centos-release 7
