Bug 1396850

I really don't get what's the issue here

the main package is in main variant, while language mutations are in optional

-bash-4.1$ find /mnt/redhat/released/RHEL-7/7.3/ -name "gnome-getting-started-docs*" | grep -v optional | grep -v src
/mnt/redhat/released/RHEL-7/7.3/Client/x86_64/os/Packages/gnome-getting-started-docs-3.14.1.0.2-3.el7.noarch.rpm

Workstation has it in main variant as well.

If you need to install the language mutations e.g. DE you should enable the optional variant.

Hi Lubos,

I need to reopen this issue. This problem doesn't caused by installing additional wanted packages. They just installed RHEL-7.1 or 7.2 from a DVD-image with default language de_DE.UTF8. This stated to an existing package `gnome-getting-started-docs-de-3.14.1.0.2-1.el7.noarch`.
After this, when you try to upgrade to RHEL-7.3, you will run into this issue. Is your advice for the customer, when they installed a prior-RHEL-7.3 system with German language (or any other than English) and would like to upgrade to RHEL-7.3, they need to activate the optional repository?

It's easy reproducible this, by doing following tasks.

1. Install RHEL-7.2 vm with attached kickstart.

virt-install --name rhel-7-gnome-issue --memory 2048 --input type=mouse,bus=ps2 --disk rhel-7-gnome-issue.qcow2,format=qcow2,size=16 --graphics spice --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel7 --location
rhel-workstation-7.1-x86_64-dvd.iso --hvm --initrd-inject=ks.cfg --extra-args "ks=file:/ks.cfg console=ttyS0,115200 log_buf_len=16M" --noreboot

2. subscribe system
subscription-manager register --username=<username> --password=<password> --auto-attach

3. check configured repositories and subscription status
[root@localhost ~]# subscription-manager list --consumed
+-------------------------------------------+
   Consumed Subscriptions

[root@localhost ~]# yum repolist

rhel-7-workstation-rpms/7Workstation/x86_64  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Workstation (RPMs)  14.346
repolist: 14.346

4. try update the whole system
[root@localhost ~]# yum update

5. enable optional repository will resolve this issue
[root@localhost ~]# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-workstation-optional-rpms
Repository 'rhel-7-workstation-optional-rpms' is enabled for this system.

Luboš,
how is this bug going to be fixed?

Hello Jan,

we need to make sure that all currently supported release streams (repositories)
always have gnome-getting-started-docs and gnome-getting-started-docs-de in "matching versions".

What it looks to me is that we'll need to push missing rpms into rhel-7 and 7.3/7.2 EUS/AUS repos.

Lubos

Hello as of now I'm closing it as cant fix since it was caused by resolution of bug 1350802.

I know it's unfortunate however we've decided to move some of language support into OptionalRepository in order to fit standard single layered DVD size (4.7 GB).

There might be a way how to make custom DVDs in the future which could enable us to put back previously moved packages.

The solution for your issue right now would be to enable optional repository which will grant you access to gnome-getting-started-docs-de

Thanks for understanding

Lubos
