I am unable to install Ansible on Redhat 6.6 (RHEL) due to a missing dependency for python-six. When I try to install python-six, I get this response. “No package python-six available.” These are the steps I use to replicate the problem. -Download the x86\_64 rpm for the EPEL repository wget [http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86\_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm](http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm) -Install the EPEL rpm to add the repository to my system yum install epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm -Install ansible yum update && yum install ansible -I get this error Error: Package: ansible-2.1.1.0-1.el6.noarch (epel) Requires: python-six -Install python-six yum install python-six -I get this error No package python-six available. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. ---

It's in the 'extras' centos-6 repo, I don't have a RHEL VM to hand to check but I'd expect it to be in the RHN repos - from memory maybe the 'optional' one?
