[Users] "factory" repository got unintentionally enabled

[David Knecht]

Hello

I have got some OpenVZ 7-based systems where the default setup of the 
yum repositories is not as I intend it. I have the impression that 
during the OpenVZ 7 maintenance/update process the "factory" repository 
got unintentionally enabled.

The "factory" repository is defined in the file 
"/etc/yum.repos.d/factory.repo" which is provided by the 
"openvz-release" rpm package. The 7.0.5-2 release of that package (see 
https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.5-432/x86_64/os/Packages/o/openvz-release-7.0.5-2.vz7.x86_64.rpm) 
enables the "factory" repository [while openvz-release-7.0.4-19 and 
openvz-release-7.0.6-5 (see 
https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.4-698/x86_64/os/Packages/o/openvz-release-7.0.4-19.vz7.x86_64.rpm 
and 
https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.6-458/x86_64/os/Packages/o/openvz-release-7.0.6-5.vz7.x86_64.rpm) 
do not!].

It seems that by upgrading to openvz-release-7.0.5-2 my systems left the 
regular (i. e. non-factory) maintenance/upgrade track and continued to 
use the "factory" repository. As of now, a system update using "yum 
update" left me with this setup (where the "factory" repository 
continues to be enabled):

[root at hostname yum.repos.d]# yum list installed | grep openvz-release
openvz-release.x86_64         7.0.7-1.vz7         @factory

A newly installed (as of today) OpenVZ 7 system does not have the 
"factory" repository enabled. As a consequence the OpenVZ release is 
"7.0.6 (509)".

My question: How can I bring my systems back to a state as if the 
"factory" respository was never enabled? I'd like to bring them back to 
a clean state as on the newly installed OpenVZ 7 system.

I guess that simply merging the respository definitions of a newly 
installed OpenVZ 7 system back to the "messy" systems does not solve the 
problem since there are now many packages installed which are provided 
by one of the "factory" and "virtuozzolinux-openvz-factory" repositories.

Thanks for your help and kind regards

David
