Description Richard W.M. Jones 2013-01-18 13:52:58 UTC

Description of problem:

I got this error when updating from qemu-kvm 1.2.0-21.el7 to
1.3.0-3.el7:

Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/bin/qemu-nbd from install of qemu-img-2:1.3.0-3.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package qemu-kvm-common-2:1.2.0-21.el7.x86_64
  file /usr/share/man/man8/qemu-nbd.8.gz from install of qemu-img-2:1.3.0-3.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package qemu-kvm-common-2:1.2.0-21.el7.x86_64

The reason is that qemu-kvm doesn't seem to contain a
versioned dependency on qemu-kvm-common (or indeed *any*
dependency at all):

$ rpm -qR qemu-kvm|grep common
[no output!]

I'm pretty sure there should be a dependency there.  Indeed,
manually adding qemu-kvm-common fixed my initial problem.

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

qemu-kvm 2:1.3.0-3.el7

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-01-18 14:22:15 UTC

Maybe I'm wrong about this (Fedora qemu doesn't have a
versioned dependency either), but it does seem as if
a dependency is required.

Well, I don't know yet so we need to investigate a little more. However, first we need to rebase to qemu-1.4 and fix 912433 and then we need to go on. The rebase can change several things so I'd rather wait till we rebase to qemu-1.4.

Comment 4 Miroslav Rezanina 2013-06-18 13:57:19 UTC

This was fixed in qemu-kvm-1.4.0-2.el7

Comment 6 Shaolong Hu 2014-01-17 05:35:37 UTC

Verified on qemu-kvm-rhev = 10:1.5.3-31.el7:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qR qemu-kvm-rhev |grep common
qemu-kvm-common-rhev = 10:1.5.3-31.el7
