The reason why I set a regression tag because I tried to use an original build of qga rpm 'qemu-ga-win-101.2.0-1.el7ev.noarch.rpm' but there is no that issue. so set a regression flag. Recently I hit another issue that the qga upgrade operation needs uninstall the previous version of qga ahead. but the original design doesn't need to uninstall the old one, just upgrade the latest qga directly. After confirmation with Yan, this issue seems to be caused by this one, so update this info here as a tracker: upgrade between minor versions is now broken. Reproduce this issue with
mingw-qemu-ga-win-102.5.0-0.el8
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot up windows guest.
2. check qga program build version in guest via the following two methods:
(1). click 'control panel' --> 'Program' --> 'Program and features' --> click 'QEMU guest agent' and check the bottom you can see the "RedHat product version 102.0.0"
(2) open cmd and run command "wmic product where Name="QEMU guest agent" get Version | findstr /v Version", the result is 102.0.0
3.connect guest on the host to send qga command "guest-info"
[root@dell-per440-01 qemu-ga-win]# nc -U /tmp/avocado_w_eopcls/serial-org.qemu.guest_agent.0-20210702-055050-jUUACj8M
{"execute":"guest-info"}
{"return": {"version": "102.5.1" ....}}
Verify this issue with
mingw-qemu-ga-win-102.6.0-0.el8
Steps to verify as above
Actual result:
host:
{"execute":"guest-info"}
{"return": {"version": "102.6.0"
on guest:
102.6.0
Expected result:
qga build version are the same between guest and host.
