Description Carl George 🤠 2023-03-14 20:54:07 UTC

Description of problem:
systemd-boot from EPEL 9 does not install on CentOS Stream 9 due to a file conflict.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-boot-250.3-1.el9
systemd-252-8.el9


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install systemd-boot


Actual results:
Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/share/man/man7/systemd-stub.7.gz conflicts between attempted installs of systemd-boot-250.3-1.el9.x86_64 and systemd-252-8.el9.x86_64


Expected results:
successful installation


Additional info:
This also affects RHEL 9.2 (not yet released).

Comment 1 Robert Scheck 2023-03-14 21:04:34 UTC

This is caused by bug #2140646 and my request with bug #2157663 made things maybe even more worse…

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2023-05-15 21:16:23 UTC

Honestly, I'm not really sure how to fix this: RHEL 9.2 ships the systemd-boot executables as part of systemd-udev, as well as systemd-boot-unsigned (with the stub files) in CRB. Latter RPM provides systemd-boot, but does not obsolete it.

Comment 3 Robert Scheck 2023-05-16 10:04:05 UTC

From my understanding, 'dnf swap systemd-boot systemd-boot-unsigned' and 'dnf install systemd-udev' does hopefully do the trick for existing installations.

Comment 4 Neil Hanlon 2024-01-11 00:25:05 UTC

I've had a sort of recurrence of this while upgrading a Rocky 9.1 system to 9.3. I have not tried to reproduce this on RHEL yet.

```

The only way I was able to convince my system to upgrade was by using `dnf shell` to swap and upgrade in a single transaction:

```
dnf shell --setopt=protected_packages= --noautoremove --refresh
> swap systemd-250-12.el9_1.3 systemd-252-18.el9
> upgrade
> run
```

I'm mostly commenting here to remind me to look into this more, though I don't know there's really ever going to be a solution to the craziness which happened with systemd here.

Comment 5 Carl George 🤠 2024-11-08 22:25:26 UTC

Looks like systemd-extras-253.4-1.el9 removes the systemd-boot subpackage, so this is no longer an issue.
