Dave asked:
I am attempting to install POSTGIS on RHEL6.3×64.
To do this I used the following steps
- installed epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
- yum install postgis
There was a dependency issue and would not install.
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
Updating certificate-based repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Any ideas how I can complete the installation of postgis, can not seem to get past the dependencies?
My answer:
The file /usr/bin/rebuild-gcj-db
is in the java-1.5.0-gcj
package, which is in the Red Hat system repositories.
The fact that you can’t find it most likely means that your Red Hat subscription for this machine is not active. Give the machine a subscription entitlement and try again.
Alternately, convert the system to CentOS.
