Description Vladimir Benes 2016-09-23 09:57:40 UTC

Description of problem:
I've clean installed RHEL7.2, then updated NM to 1.4.0-10 and rebooted. After reboot network didn't even start. I logged in via serial console and there is an error running nmcli:
nmcli: symbol lookup error: nmcli: undefined symbol: g_strv_contains

package was built on 7.3. I am not sure if such scenarios are supported.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@amd-dinar-04 ~]# rpm -qa NetworkManager*

Comment 1 Vladimir Benes 2016-09-23 10:05:13 UTC

update to glib2-2.46.2-4.el7.x86_64 fixes the issue. 

Is it possible to create dynamic dependency in spec file to the version of glib you are compiling with?
