Description

The dependency is weird, but was set up on purpose so that subscription-manager could be included in Fedora at some point in the future. The migration-data rpm is RH internal, and thus cannot be a dependency for subscription-manager-migration (which is built from the same source rpm as subscription-manager). We provide instructions for how a user can create their own migration data certs and mapping, in case they ever wanted to use it. The argument in comment 1 totally explains why subscription-manager-migration should not require subscription-manager-migration-data; fine. Alternatively, I suggest that the dependency between these two packages be completely removed. It's harmless to install subscription-manager-migration-data without subscription-manager-migration. committed 2e3a98f59dae1ab893e48e7db81228b290e3d1b3 to RHEL 5 branch committed 549784c326efc4e56ef95af21bb3eae1786a48b0 to RHEL 6 branch Committed 0dec351333cc3ee5d2587a8c7b884ce00e06d864 on RHEL6.3 branch Verifying Version...

For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2012-0823.html *** Bug 915843 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can not see why this bug was closed with errata at all: $ yum install subscription-manager-migration [...] Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package subscription-manager-migration.x86_64 0:1.9.11-1.el6 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution [...] And I am sorry, I do not see how the argument from comment #1 is valid: Even if subscription-manager gets included into Fedora, I do not see any need for a subscription-manager-migration subpackage. There is no RHN equivalent with CDN for Fedora. And even a subscription-manager-migration subpackage makes it into Fedora because of whatever reason, you still could put something like this in the subscription-manager.spec file: %if 0%{?rhel} >= 5 Requires: subscription-manager-migration-data %endif (In reply to Robert Scheck from comment #12) Agreed. Bug 1049037 has been newly opened to implement Robert's solution. |
