Description Dusty Mabe 2018-01-15 18:10:05 UTC 
Description of problem:

Installing xorgxrdp requires xorg-x11-server-Xorg to get picked up from the release day repo (version 1.19.5-1.fc27) rather than from the updates repo (1.19.6-1.fc27.x86_64). It looks like the rpm has a specific requires on 1.19.5:

```
$ rpm -qp --requires xorgxrdp-0.2.5-1.fc27.x86_64.rpm 2>/dev/null  | tail -n 1
xorg-x11-server-Xorg(x86-64) = 1.19.5
```

And thus downgrades the rpm when installing xorgxrdp.

```
$ sudo dnf install xorgxrdp --assumeno | cat

This needs to be fixed.

We also see problems when people try to package layer on Atomic Workstation, which
is where this bug was first reported:

```

to be fair others could easily open this issue same as I did because the dup bug is under the xorg-x11-server component so no bugs show up under: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/xorgxrdp/bugs

It's just temporarily assigned to X11 folks, so that we can figure out what's the best way to fix this.

sure, i'm just saying you're probably going to get more dups while we wait. This is the 2nd one in a few days.

Or not, because -2 of the package was just pushed to stable.

well that was timely... thanks!

There's been some over-zealous closing/duplicating of bugs going on here. Although the immediate problem has been solved, there is still an underlying problem that versions of these things are too tightly bound such that EVERY TIME RHEL releases a new version it breaks the EPEL rpm, then when that gets fixed, it wont work with CentOS until they update to complete the cycle.

A long term solution is needed, rather than just working around it by recompiling stuff and living with broken dependencies for a few weeks.

See bug 1644659, bug 1533122, bug 1534145, bug 1534697, bug 1533122. At lest one of them needs to remain open...
