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:

When working installation with /usr/bin/net from RHEL 7.1 is upgraded to RHEL 7.2, /usr/bin/net is gone.

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

Upgrade from samba-common-4.1.12-21.el7_1.x86_64 to samba-common-4.2.3-7.el7.noarch.

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have RHEL 7.1 machine against RHEL 7.1 repo.
2. yum install -y /usr/bin/net
3. Verify

# rpm -qf /usr/bin/net
samba-common-4.1.12-21.el7_1.x86_64

4. Switch to RHEL 7.2 (nightly) repo.
5. yum upgrade -y samba-common
6. rpm -qf /usr/bin/net

Actual results:

error: file /usr/bin/net: No such file or directory

Expected results:

Probably samba-common-tools-4.2.3-7.el7.x86_64

Additional info:

Something like

   Obsoletes: samba-common < 4.2

in the samba-common-tools-4.2.3 package, together with renaming samba-common to something different is probably needed to ensure things are not lost during upgrade.

Adding samba-tools as a dependency to samba-common might work.
