Patch
Description of problem:
On the RHEL 7 systems, the grub2-tools rpm provides (and obsoletes) the grub2-tools-efi capability on all architectures. Regarding the discussion we had with jhlavac, this seems to be wrong as EFI isn't provided on non-intel architectures (correct me if I am wrong). Because of this provides, we are not able to calculate upgrade RPM transaction to RHEL 8, because the capability is not provided anymore on RHEL 8 systems for non-intel architectures.
Actual results:
grub2-tools provides grub2-tools-efi on non-intel architectures
Expected results:
grub2-tools provide grub2-tools-efi only on intel architectures
Additional info:
Possible patch in the attachement. I found in th arch even the %{efi_arch} macro but it's used only once and everywhere else the x86_64 arch is used for similar purposes.
We need the fix released in RHEL ALT 7.6 - in this case it means z-stream.
grub2-tools-2.02-0.81.el7 no longer provides grub2-tools-efi on non-x86_64 architectures (ppc64 and ppc64le), x86_64 still provides grub2-tools-efi as requested.
There was no regression found during upgrade testing (from RHEL-7.7 to the latest 7.8).
Moving this bug to VERIFIED.
