Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 Branislav Blaškovič 2013-09-27 14:24:44 UTC
Description of problem:
  I can not longer update my RHEL7, because of error:

Running transaction check
ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg is needed by (installed) kernel-3.10.0-0.rc7.64.el7.x86_64

The difference is, that grubby-8.28-2.el7.x86_64 contains /usr/sbin/new-kernel-pkg BUT pkg grubby-8.26-2.el7.x86_64 contains /sbin/new-kernel-pkg

I know, that /sbin is just symlink to /usr/sbin but maybe there are some problems with provides.

Please investigate it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  grubby-8.28-2.el7.x86_64.rpm

You may want to move to this kernel bug:

Bug 1008358 - /sbin/new-kernel-pkg is needed by kernel-3.10.0-20.el7.x86_64

One of the comments also shows a snippet of grubby's changelog showing that what you're describing here is actually a fix for another bug.
