and we are running into following Problem:

/var/tmp # rpm -U splunk-7.2.4-8a94541dcfac-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm
warning: splunk-7.2.4-8a94541dcfac-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID b3cd4420: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
shadow-utils is needed by splunk-7.2.4-8a94541dcfac.x86_64

/var/tmp # zypper se shadow
Loading repository data...

S Name Summary Type

This is known Splunk Issue and engineering team is working on it to resolve it in 7.2.6

Till then the workaround is to use --nodeps

Hello Vinkumar,
in which release is it fixed? Unfortunately in contrast to rpm, zypper has no option --nodeps and I found no other working option (tried -n install --force). I need to use zypper to access a remote repo where the forwarder resides.
Thanks -Gerd

upgrade works fine on SLES 15, no issues found till now

We have the same issue here with SLES 12 SP 3

We already opened a case with Splunk support (case #1279359) and got the answer that this in fact might be a packaging problem. Splunk support is currently looking into it!
