the agent is never installed and I am seeing this in the logs..

why is it attempting to install all of those when all it needs is google-cloud-ops-agent? I am assuming it's something in the black box that is doing it.. but I can't figure out where the gcloud command is turned into the yum install command that is including all the old agents that are not being requested.
Oh and this is being applied to a fresh centos 7 VM that does not have any of the agents installed.
AND when I do it with the on client installation it works.. so this is some where between gcloud and it's pre-made script for installing..
/Something/ was fixed. suddenly it works with out me changing any code.
