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:

The mgetty rpm explicitly declares a "conflicts" with the hylafax+ package, but this is wrong since the "conflicts" should be declared by the mgetty-sendfax sub-package, not mgetty itself.
 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 mgetty-1.1.36-26.el7.x86_64.rpm


Steps to Reproduce:

$ rpm -qp --conflicts mgetty-1.1.36-26.el7.x86_64.rpm
hylafax+

$ rpm -qp --conflicts mgetty-sendfax-1.1.36-26.el7.x86_64.rpm
$

$ rpm -qa|grep ^mgetty
mgetty-1.1.36-26.el7.x86_64
$

# rpm -Uvh hylafax+-5.5.5-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        hylafax+ conflicts with (installed) mgetty-1.1.36-26.el7.x86_64
#


Expected results:
mgetty-sendfax should declare a conflict with hylafax+.
mgetty should not.

Additional information:
mgetty (main rpm) and hylafax+ can coexist with no problem.

Thanks, for the report. I'll try to deliver fix in RHEL-7.1.

That's ok, packages will conflict implicitly. Note that explicit Conflicts: was added because of packaging policy in Fedora. To verify try installing mgetty and hylafax+ and mgetty-sendfax and hylafax+. Former combination will be installed without problems while later installation will fail due to conflict.
