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: libibverbs-devel i686 1.1.7-1.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-6 61 k libibverbs-devel x86_64 1.1.7-1.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-6 61 k libibverbs-devel-static x86_64 1.1.7-1.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6 29 k libibverbs-rocee i686 1.1.7-1.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-hpn-6 46 k libibverbs-rocee x86_64 1.1.7-1.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-hpn-6 45 k libibverbs-rocee-devel i686 1.1.7-1.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-hpn-6 61 k libibverbs-rocee-devel x86_64 1.1.7-1.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-hpn-6 61 k libibverbs-rocee-devel-static x86_64 1.1.7-1.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-hpn-6 29 k libibverbs-rocee-utils x86_64 1.1.7-1.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-hpn-6 36 k libibverbs-utils x86_64 1.1.7-1.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-6 36 k ... file /usr/bin/ibv_asyncwatch conflicts between attempted installs of libibverbs-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 and libibverbs-rocee-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 file /usr/bin/ibv_devices conflicts between attempted installs of libibverbs-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 and libibverbs-rocee-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 file /usr/bin/ibv_devinfo conflicts between attempted installs of libibverbs-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 and libibverbs-rocee-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 file /usr/bin/ibv_rc_pingpong conflicts between attempted installs of libibverbs-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 and libibverbs-rocee-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 file /usr/bin/ibv_srq_pingpong conflicts between attempted installs of libibverbs-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 and libibverbs-rocee-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 file /usr/bin/ibv_uc_pingpong conflicts between attempted installs of libibverbs-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 and libibverbs-rocee-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 file /usr/bin/ibv_ud_pingpong conflicts between attempted installs of libibverbs-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 and libibverbs-rocee-utils-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 file /usr/lib64/libibverbs.a conflicts between attempted installs of libibverbs-rocee-devel-static-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 and libibverbs-devel-static-1.1.7-1.el6.x86_64 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.
Drop the fast flag and wait for someone to set the z-stream flag.
In RHEL 6.6 libibverbs-rocee is Obsoleted by libibverbs.
