Description Daniel Berrangé 2022-02-28 12:16:44 UTC

Description of problem:
qemu-kvm-hw-usbredir was renamed to qemu-kvm-device-usb-redirect

To  ensure an upgrade path for DNF, the new package needs *both* Provides and Obsoletes, but it only has Provides.

The "Provides" means new installs can be satisfied with the new package alone

The missing 'Obsoletes' means DNF doesn't know to uninstall the old package

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.2.0-10.el9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install qemu-kvm 6.1.0-2.el9.x86_64 
2. dnf upgrade
3.

Actual results:
# dnf update
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8
Last metadata expiration check: 1:38:53 ago on Mon Feb 28 05:30:08 2022.
Error: 
 Problem: cannot install both qemu-kvm-common-17:6.2.0-10.el9.x86_64 and qemu-kvm-common-17:6.1.0-2.el9.x86_64
  - package qemu-kvm-hw-usbredir-17:6.1.0-2.el9.x86_64 requires qemu-kvm-common(x86-64) = 17:6.1.0-2.el9, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package qemu-kvm-common-17:6.1.0-2.el9.x86_64
  - problem with installed package qemu-kvm-hw-usbredir-17:6.1.0-2.el9.x86_64
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)


Expected results:
dnf replaces qemu-kvm-hw-usbredir with qemu-kvm-device-usb-redirect
