RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
xorg-x11-drivers should not require xorg-x11-drv-modesetting which was blocked in 6.8
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drivers-7.3-13.4.el6
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual results:
xorg-x11-drivers requires xorg-x11-drv-modesetting
Expected results:
xorg-x11-drivers should not require xorg-x11-drv-modesetting
Additional info:
http://dist-git.app.eng.bos.redhat.com/cgit/rpms/xorg-x11-drivers/commit/?h=rhel-6.4&id=4ab193a1dd5249c8a43a2396670514d2f55ef9dd should be reverted
There is no longer a _source_ package for xorg-x11-drv-modesetting, but xorg-x11-server-Xorg Provides it for compatibility. Is the Requires causing an actual problem?
What would happen when xorg-x11-drv-modesetting is installed on the system with old rpms and you update the system.
I guess rpm wont remove xorg-x11-drv-modesetting, one need to do it manually.
Only on the system without xorg-x11-drv-modesetting and xorg-x11-drivers Xorg stack could be successfully updated.
Shouldn't we document it to avoid possible bugs against this issue in future?
Adam any thoughts?

No, it should remove the old modesetting package xorg-x11-server.spec also Obsoletes older versions of the driver:
Obsoletes: xorg-x11-drv-modesetting < %{version}-%{release}
Provides: xorg-x11-drv-modesetting = %{version}-%{release}
Since %{version} is 1.17 and RHEL6.7 had xorg-x11-drv-modesetting-0.8.0-14.el6, this should work just fine.
Shouldn't we bother also with debuginfo (modesetting and glamor)?

If we don't care I'm ready to close this bz.
