1212002 – yum install guestfish fails on RHEL 7.1

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 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-04-15 11:40:26 UTC

Description of problem:

On RHEL 7.1:

# yum install guestfish
[...]
Error: Package: 1:libguestfs-1.22.6-22.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms)
           Requires: libkadm5srv_mit.so.8()(64bit)
           Available: krb5-libs-1.11.3-49.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms)
               libkadm5srv_mit.so.8()(64bit)
           Installed: krb5-libs-1.12.2-14.el7.x86_64 (@anaconda/7.1)
              ~libkadm5srv_mit.so.9()(64bit)

(Actually this is not reproducible on a system updated
from RHEL 7.0.  I think it only happens if you install RHEL 7.1
directly).

Anyway, the cause is the same as
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1114012

I dropped the guestfish virtual provides from RHEL 7.1 when rebasing,
and so now it tries to install the RHEL 7.0 packages, which don't
work on 7.1.

The workaround is to use:

  yum install /usr/bin/guestfish
or:
  yum install libguestfs-tools-c

instead.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL 7.1

How reproducible:

?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I could actually reproduce this myself on RHEL 7.1, but it was
   reported by a user.

Verified with libguestfs-1.28.1-1.29.el7.
