Description Jan Pazdziora 2015-10-14 11:24:43 UTC
Description of problem:

When working installation with /usr/bin/net from RHEL 7.1 is upgraded to RHEL 7.2, /usr/bin/net is gone.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Upgrade from samba-common-4.1.12-21.el7_1.x86_64 to samba-common-4.2.3-7.el7.noarch.

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have RHEL 7.1 machine against RHEL 7.1 repo.
2. yum install -y /usr/bin/net
3. Verify

# rpm -qf /usr/bin/net
samba-common-4.1.12-21.el7_1.x86_64

4. Switch to RHEL 7.2 (nightly) repo.
5. yum upgrade -y samba-common
6. rpm -qf /usr/bin/net

Actual results:

error: file /usr/bin/net: No such file or directory

Expected results:

Probably samba-common-tools-4.2.3-7.el7.x86_64

Additional info:

Comment 1 Jan Pazdziora 2015-10-14 11:26:14 UTC
Something like

   Obsoletes: samba-common < 4.2

in the samba-common-tools-4.2.3 package, together with renaming samba-common to something different is probably needed to ensure things are not lost during upgrade.

Comment 3 Sumit Bose 2015-10-20 14:27:26 UTC
Adding samba-tools as a dependency to samba-common might work.
