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.

Actual results:

Additional info:
In the N-V-R.A string "openmpi-1.8-1.8.1-5.el6.x86_64" the components are:
Name: openmpi-1.8
Version: 1.8.1
Release: 5.el6
Arch: x86_64
The name of the binary package really is "openmpi-1.8".
This is intentional. We ship more than one compat version of openmpi and we have to distinguish them by the name. See my comment at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1158864#c11
The latest version of openmpi in RHEL6.8 is called "openmpi-1.10".
I am aware this will need proper release notes.
Or is it truly necessary for the package to be called "openmpi"?

+1, doc is necessary.

maybe not. But as you see 'rpm -q openmpi' and 'yum install openmpi' conflict with each other when openmpi-1.8 installed. There should be same issue while openmpi-1.10 installed.

In the 'yum install openmpi' command, the 'openmpi' is a provide name, not necessarily a package name. 'openmpi-1.8' provides 'openmpi', hence yum try to install 'openmpi-1.8'.
The package naming here is a bit unusual, but it's valid by RPM rules.
