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:

See also bug #1173713.  Upgrading breaks systems when for example openldap in not upgraded between releases.  There is now warning about this in the result.html report.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
preupgrade-assistant-2.0.1-1.el6.x86_64
preupgrade-assistant-contents-0.6.7-5.el6.noarch

Hi Orion,

It works for me without any problems and I am clueless. Let's try to find the cause. Currently it should work in this way:
1. /usr/share/preupgrade/RHEL6_7/common/x86_64/Server_downgraded must mention openldap. I checked that preupgrade-assistant-contents-0.6.7-5.el6.noarch does, but we have to be sure. If it is not there, your rpm package is wrong.
2. After running preupg, /root/preupgrade/preupgrade-scripts/fixpkgdowngrades.sh must exist. It is generated during preupg by /usr/share/preupgrade/RHEL6_7/packages/pkgdowngrades.sh. If you have for example openldap built by yoursef and not signed by redhat, it will be ignored.
3. After running redhat-upgrade-tool, but before rebooting: /var/lib/system-upgrade must contain openldap.el7.rpm

Please accept my sincerest apologies - I ran the test using the CentOS upgrade tool and made the incorrect assumption that the redhat tool was the same.  Testing with the redhat tool worked fine exactly as you described.
