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 Radek Bíba 2013-11-27 13:39:48 UTC
Description of problem:
Libreoffice in RHEL 6.5 no longer obsoletes openoffice.org, which causes problems in certain cases. For instance, if you try "yum --skip-broken install \*", yum tries to get you both openoffice.org and libreoffice, downloads everything, and then fails in the transaction check:

  file /usr/bin/oobase conflicts between attempted installs of openoffice.org-base-1:3.2.1-19.6.el6_2.7.x86_64 and libreoffice-base-1:4.0.4.2-9.el6.x86_64

(Many other files are shared, and there's nothing in the metadata that would make yum skip openoffice.org* in the fist place, allowing the transaction to pass. Note: there are some other packages that must be excluded because of similar issues; there are bug reports for them.)

Likewise, if you have openoffice.org-writer-3.2.1-19.6.el6_2.7, which is the latest OO version-release in RHEL-6 (from RHSA-2012:0705), and you run "yum install libreoffice-writer", you get:

Installing:
 libreoffice-writer i686 1:4.0.4.2-9.el6 rhel-i386-server-optional-6 5.1 M
...
  file /usr/bin/oowriter from install of libreoffice-writer-1:4.0.4.2-9.el6.i686 conflicts with file from package openoffice.org-writer-1:3.2.1-19.6.el6_2.7.i686

Shouldn't libreoffice-writer (and friends) still obsolete openoffice.org-writer (and their OO counterparts)? That would allow "yum install *" to work, and make "yum install libreoffice-whatever" replace OO if it's installed.

Yes, they should. The obsoletes were unintentionally lost. We can add them back easily enough, but it will be a bit late, I guess...

Comment 2 Radek Bíba 2013-11-27 14:41:15 UTC
That's fine; in the meantime, we can just exclude OO on the yum command lines in our recipes.

I can't fix this without an approved "exception" flag

Comment 11 Caolan McNamara 2014-08-20 13:40:03 UTC
yeah, I don't see that we need to address debuginfo, we can ignore that. Its just the langpack that needs to be addressed
