Expected results:

upgrade fence agents


Additional info:

looks like fence-agents 4.2.1-85 got released but misses the release for the subpackages fence-agents-ibm-powervs and fence-agents-ibm-vpc

Comment 1 Oyvind Albrigtsen 2022-02-04 10:20:04 UTC

I'm looking into how to solve this.

In the meanwhile you should be able to upgrade after running "yum remove fence-agents-ibm-vpc". It'll remove the -all subpackage, which you can reinstall after upgrading.

Comment 2 Christoph 2022-02-04 14:42:32 UTC

My original problem was during an ovirt update which has a dependency tree

    ovirt -> vdsm -> fence-agents-all

It will hit everyone trying to upgrade ovirt.
My workaround is masking -85 packages.

Comment 3 Oyvind Albrigtsen 2022-02-07 15:11:59 UTC

You can run "rpm -q --nodeps fence-agents-ibm-vpc", and then upgrade. That way it will only remove that specific package, and if there was a dependency for it in the upgrade -all subpackage it would install it during the upgrade.

Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2023-08-03 07:28:35 UTC

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
