Description haydn.reysenbach 2023-11-29 10:05:40 UTC

Description of problem:
gcc-epel is version 8.5.0-19.el8 while in the main repos gcc is 8.5.0-20.el8. 
Due to the difference in version numbers, I can't install gcc-gnat because it conflicts with gcc

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
8.5.0-19.el8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf install gcc
2. sudo dnf install gcc-gnat

Actual results:
gcc-gnat is not installed (missing libgnat.so, etc)

Expected results:
gcc-gnat is installed

Comment 3 haydn.reysenbach 2023-11-30 09:55:23 UTC

Thanks for the update. 

I can confirm that this has fixed the issue. 
I did have to specifically request libgnat-8.5.0 and gcc-gnat-8.5.0 to be installed. If I use `dnf install gcc-gnat` it will tell me that `Package gcc-8.5.0-20.el8.x86_64 is already installed.` similarly for libgnat and libgcc. 

Is this normal behaviour?

Thanks,
Haydn

Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2023-11-30 10:41:38 UTC

> Is this normal behaviour?

Unfortunately, yes:

$ rpm -q --obsoletes gcc
gcc-gnat < 8.5.0-20.el8
gcc-java < 8.5.0-20.el8
libcilkrts
libcilkrts-static
$ 

$ rpm -q --obsoletes libgcc
libgcj < 8.5.0-20.el8
libgcj-devel < 8.5.0-20.el8
libgcj-src < 8.5.0-20.el8
libgnat < 8.5.0-20.el8
libmudflap
libmudflap-devel
libmudflap-static
$ 

Red Hat decided to retire the support for Ada/GNAT with RHEL 8 and the observed behaviour seems to be part of their in-line upgrade path for at least RHEL 7 to 8.
