Description Tuomo Soini 2019-10-21 16:52:28 UTC

ipmctl-01.00.00.3469-2.el7 has following obsolete:

ixpdimm-cli < 01.00.00.3000

ixpdimm-cli is rhel7 core package and it is not allowed for epel packages to to replace system packages.

Please remove obsole.

Comment 1 Tuomo Soini 2019-10-21 16:55:52 UTC

Also ipmctl-monitor has similar obsolete:

ixpdimm-monitor < 01.00.00.3000

Same problem there, epel7 package can't obsolete rhel7 core package.

More same issue.

Comment 3 Juston Li 2019-10-21 18:22:58 UTC

ixpdimm is deprecated and no longer supported or maintained with ipmctl as a replacement.
It was pre-release software for enabling a tech preview and probably should never have gone to rhel core packages.
I'm almost certain the ixpdimm package is broken and will be incompatible with current platform/hardware.

Is there any way ixpdimm can be removed from rhel7 core?

ipmctl won't be submitted to core packages which is why I've added it to epel.

Comment 4 Tuomo Soini 2020-02-17 11:14:37 UTC

This issue is still not resolved. Possibly ways to resolve the issue:

Confirmation from redhat that package is removed from rhel and current packaging is ok.

Change from Obsoletes: to Conflicts: which is allowed.

The issue was and still is that no epel package can replace system package. But Conflict is allowed.

Comment 5 Jeff Moyer 2020-02-17 15:04:21 UTC

We don't remove packages from RHEL, we only mark them deprecated.  We will not be shipping ipmctl.

Comment 6 Tuomo Soini 2020-02-17 15:39:31 UTC

Sorry - you misunderstood that - I requested change to ipmctl to Conflict: rhel packages instead of Obsoleting them. So this bug is about epel7 package replacing package provided by rhel

Comment 7 Jeff Moyer 2020-02-17 15:41:51 UTC

I apologize, I didn't notice that this was an EPEL bug.
