It is in EPEL. [http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86\_64/repoview/python-jinja.html](http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/python-jinja.html) It looks like the "-26" version is just a noarch package pointing to the other. ---

Ha, ok, so they completely renamed things or I've just been using pip. This is totally fixable through a conditional in the specfile. Cobbler does some of this and we can port it. [https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/blob/master/cobbler.spec](https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/blob/master/cobbler.spec) The question is, how was it \*already\* working in EPEL6 and not failing or was this a recent rename in EPEL (and if so, not cool, EPEL?) Adding Tim on CC in case he knows. ---

Ok, so it sounds like python-jinja2 does NOT need to be in there for CentOS EPEL because it's already in CentOS CentOS, so this is just what Daniel said about enabling the other RHEL repo. Computers are hard! 🙂 ---

I will check that out. I thought it was a missed inclusion. Thanks!
