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:
ksc dependency  kernel-abi-whitelists is missing when ksc is installed on RHEL 7

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ksc-0.9.8-1.el7.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 Beta (Maipo)

2.
yum install ksc-0.9.8-1.el7.noarch.rpm
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use
+subscription-manager to register.
Examining ksc-0.9.8-1.el7.noarch.rpm: ksc-0.9.8-1.el7.noarch
Marking ksc-0.9.8-1.el7.noarch.rpm to be installed
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package ksc.noarch 0:0.9.8-1.el7 will be installed
--> Processing Dependency: kernel-abi-whitelists for package: ksc-0.9.8-1.el7.noarch
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: ksc-0.9.8-1.el7.noarch (/ksc-0.9.8-1.el7.noarch)
Requires: kernel-abi-whitelists
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


Actual results:
Throws error

Expected results:
It should install without any errors with all dependencies installed

Following should be mentioned in the setup of ksc

RHEL7.repo needs to be included in yum repository

cd /etc/yum.repos.d should have a file
RHEL7.repo
 which have following content

[rhel-server]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Server
baseurl=http://download.devel.redhat.com/released/RHEL-7/7.0-Beta-1/Server/$basearch/os
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

I think that's beyond the scope of the ksc documentation

Jiri is right here. I've just also checked the "kernel-abi-whitelists" package is in the RHEL7 composes - it is not missing. And will be available via subscription manager to customers. For the testing purposes you have to install the package yourself manually either directly with rpm or by creating a yum.repo file whatever is more convenient to you.
