RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Arpit Tolani 2011-03-04 09:03:23 UTC
Description of problem:
While Installing with a kickstart, provided the following the the Pacakge section.
%packages
*
-@conflicts
%end
below packages were not installed.
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686
libstdc++-4.4.4-13.el6.i686


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL-6.0 with kickstart and select to install all packages with * 
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686
libstdc++-4.4.4-13.el6.i686

Packages were not installed.

Expected results:
Above mentioned packages should installed as they are not conflicting.

Additional info:
%packages
*
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686

Giving in this format was a workaround & its worked.

Comment 7 Chris Lumens 2011-03-10 15:48:28 UTC
Hm, I think I need some more information about the packages in question.  Are compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686 and libstdc++-4.4.4-13.el6.i686 members of the Conflicts group?  Why do you have to add libcmpi* and tog-pegasus* as removals in the second example to make it work?

Comment 8 Arpit Tolani 2011-03-15 14:12:05 UTC
%packages
*
-libcmpi*
-tog-pegasus*
-@conflicts
%end

specifying the the above format also doesnt install the above stated packages.

%packages
*
-libcmpi*
-tog-pegasus*
%end

This also doesnt work.

-libcmpi*
-tog-pegasus*

Giving this is mandotary, otherwise installation will exists because these two packages conflicts with each other.
