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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 of problem:
"yum --skip-broken install '*'" should (ideally) be able to install as many non-conflicting packages as possible, taking Obsoletes: into account. There are some broken packages that must be excluded manually (bugs exist), so we are able to install almost everything using our scripts. Unfortunately, it seems we need to add something new to the exclusion lists now. Here are some interesting excerpts:

I assume this should have been made consistent:
Name: libibverbs-rocee
Obsoletes: libibverbs < 1.1.8
...
%package devel
Obsoletes: libibverbs-devel < 1.1.7
...
%package devel-static
Obsoletes: libibverbs-devel-static < 1.1.7
...
%package utils
Obsoletes: libibverbs-utils < 1.1.7
I haven't tried that, but if the subpackages obsoleted version 1.1.8 too, I believe "yum install '*'" wouldn't include the non-roccee counterparts, and the transaction would succeed.
Yes, this would have worked if that had gotten changed everywhere. I'll update the spec file to make sure that they all use the same version (I'll create a global macro for this so this can't happen again in the future) and build a new package. I'll also double check that libmlx4-rocee doesn't have the same problem (which it could, I think yum bails on the first of these types of errors, so we could fix libibverbs and then libmlx4 come behind with the same problem if I don't check).
I should have new packages in a couple hours (have to step out for an appt or else it would be sooner). We will need to fasttrack these through.

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Fix is built locally and ready to check in, but I can't do so until the flags on this bug are set properly.
Honggang, can I please get a qe ack?
I also need a pm ack.
This will need to be fast tracked as soon as possible as it breaks yum upgrades for people with the HPN channel subscribed. Fortunately, most of our IB users are a bit slow to update and so we can fix this before they hit it, but we need to move quickly to do so. I already have one known support ticket related to this bug.
