No this was always FOSS only, not Zextras no Talk none of that.

Hi Barry,


I always have trouble reading the dependency output of yum but to me it 
looks like zimbra-network-modules-ng is pulled in by zimbra-talk. Which 
isn't supported for FOSS and shouldn't appear in the dependency tree at 
all. Especially both zimbra-chat and zimbra-talk shouldn't appear at the 
same time.


Did you by any chance downgrade this system from NE to FOSS at 
somepoint? Since this sounds a bit like the issue I had with such a 
downgrade on Ubuntu and for which I filed 
https://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=108911


Cheers,

Malte
