Bug List: (11 of 16)
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:
 - yum update fails on updating kmod-bnx2x as I believe kmod-cnic does not have an upgraded package, despite kmod-bnx2x having an update.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer's results below (Note: custom repo's are newest released errata added each month. We've replicated it on a system not on a satellite to confirm the same issue exists outside of this environment):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error: Package: kmod-cnic-2.5.10.32.269-1.el6_2.x86_64 (@rhel6.7-x86_64)
           Requires: kmod-bnx2x = 1.72.00_0.32.269
           Removing: kmod-bnx2x-1.72.00_0.32.269-1.el6_2.x86_64 (@rhel6.7-x86_64)
               kmod-bnx2x = 1.72.00_0.32.269-1.el6_2
           Updated By: kmod-bnx2x-1.712.30_0-1.el6_7.x86_64 (rhel6-June2016security-x86_64)
               kmod-bnx2x = 1.712.30_0-1.el6_7
           Available: kmod-bnx2x-1.70.00_0.1-9.el6_1.x86_64 (rhel6-June2016security-x86_64)
               kmod-bnx2x = 1.70.00_0.1-9.el6_1
           Available: kmod-bnx2x-1.72.00_0-1.el6_2.x86_64 (rhel6-June2016security-x86_64)
               kmod-bnx2x = 1.72.00_0-1.el6_2
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 - Customer ran into it on a 6.7-6.8 upgrade, but replicated on a 6.7 box just simply installing kmod-bnx2x (see below)




How reproducible:
 - yum install of kmod-cnic the first time pulls in old versions of kmod-bnx2x, however trying to install kmod-bnx2x straight out tries to install the newest release of the package which fails




Steps to Reproduce:
Successful install of kmod-cnic:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# yum install kmod-cnic

Additional info:
Removing the kmod-bnx2x-1.712.30_0-1.el6_7.x86_64 package from their repo before updating their client completes successfully with no dependency issues, as it's no longer attempting to update anything.
Comment 3 Denys Vlasenko 2016-06-09 13:30:21 UTC 
This is a Driver Update Disk problem.
Comment 4 Stanislav Kozina 2016-06-09 14:22:26 UTC 
Hello,

The kmod-bnx2x and kmod-cnic are part of the Driver Update Program. These two packages:
kmod-cnic-2.5.10.32.269-1.el6_2.x86_64 (@rhel6.7-x86_64)
kmod-bnx2x-1.72.00_0.32.269
have been released during RHEL-6.2 lifecycle to support a new version of bnx2x cards. Those drivers have been included in a RHEL-6.3 GA kernel directly, so with RHEL-6.3 GA those should have been uninstalled.

With RHEL-6.7 GA another version of kmod-bnx2x was released:
https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/rhel---6/x86_64/168/kmod-bnx2x/1.712.30_0-1.el6_7/x86_64/fd431d51/package

This package does not require kmod-cnic to be installed.

This 6.7 kmod-bnx2x release was solely to support following devices:

HPE Synergy  3820C 10/20Gb Converged Network Adapter	
57840s (Kilimanjaro)	
VID – 14E4h
DID – 16A2h
SVID – 103ch
SDID – 2231h

If the customer system doesn't have the device listed above it's absolutely safe to uninstall both kmod-bnx2x and kmod-cnic on RHEL-6.7.

That said, closing this bug. Feel free to re-open. Thanks!
