Description Martin Bašti 2015-12-09 18:03:56 UTC
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5535

Obviously it was upgrade to never version.

Comment 3 Martin Kosek 2015-12-10 09:24:35 UTC
The bug manifests in 7.2.0 (ipa-4.2.0-15.el7) to 7.2.z (4.2.0-15.el7_2.3) upgrade. The upgrade does not happen as the version check is flawed and does not detect 7.2.z version as the new one.

The workaround is to run

# ipa-server-upgrade --skip-version-check

after the RPM upgrade and start the service again.

Comment 8 ilmostro7 2015-12-10 10:18:23 UTC
Not sure why the naming format; perhaps specfile got botched? Maybe it should be version 4.2.3.el7 instead of 4.2.0-15.el7_2.3?

This is bug in checking version method, 4.2.0-15.el7_2.3 version is okay.

the upstream patch causes https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5572 Different approach needs to be used.

Comment 18 Nikhil Dehadrai 2016-08-08 10:28:18 UTC
IPA server version: ipa-server-4.4.0-3.el7.x86_64

Verified the bug on the basis of following steps:
1. Verified that no error message is observed during upgrade of IPA server.
2. Verified the bug for upgrade paths:
   a) 7.2(GA) to 7.3
   b) 7.2.z to 7.3 (In my case upgrade from 7.2up6)

 Thus on the basis of above observations marking the status of bug to "VERIFIED".
