It seems like the libgeotiff package has been removed from the RHEL6

know if the package has been removed intentionally?
the process to remove the package was started before May this year but
it was not finished (the package was retired in packagedb:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/libgeotiff/)
Before recently, a second step was required to actually remove the
package from the repos. This is now automated, which is why the package
is now not available via the mirrors. I do not know how retired the
package, because it cannot be easily queried right now, but it might
have been Orion, who built the package the last time.
Our servers show the installed version to be as follows:
Name : libgeotiff
Arch : x86_64
Version : 1.2.5
Release : 5.el6
Currently we cannot install some software to our new servers due to
the
missing libgeotiff dependency. For example "yum install gdal" fails.
You can still download the package from kojipkgs if it helps you now:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/libgeotiff/1.2.5/5.el6/x86_6...
However it is not maintained currently in EPEL 5 and 6. To get it back
into EPEL 6 someone needs to step up as a new maintainer and ask for a
re-review:
