preupgrade-assistant-2.0.1-1.el6.x86_64
preupgrade-assistant-contents-0.6.7-5.el6.noarch

Hi Orion,

It works for me without any problems and I am clueless. Let's try to find the cause. Currently it should work in this way:
1. /usr/share/preupgrade/RHEL6_7/common/x86_64/Server_downgraded must mention openldap. I checked that preupgrade-assistant-contents-0.6.7-5.el6.noarch does, but we have to be sure. If it is not there, your rpm package is wrong.
2. After running preupg, /root/preupgrade/preupgrade-scripts/fixpkgdowngrades.sh must exist. It is generated during preupg by /usr/share/preupgrade/RHEL6_7/packages/pkgdowngrades.sh. If you have for example openldap built by yoursef and not signed by redhat, it will be ignored.
3. After running redhat-upgrade-tool, but before rebooting: /var/lib/system-upgrade must contain openldap.el7.rpm

Please accept my sincerest apologies - I ran the test using the CentOS upgrade tool and made the incorrect assumption that the redhat tool was the same.  Testing with the redhat tool worked fine exactly as you described.
