Description Patrik Kis 2016-07-07 13:23:23 UTC
Description of problem:
Quotation from RPMDiff:

'' Subpackage krb5-workstation on aarch64 x86_64 ppc64 ppc64le s390x consumes libraries libkadm5clnt_mit.so.8()(64bit) libkadm5clnt_mit.so.8(kadm5clnt_mit_8_MIT)(64bit) libkadm5srv_mit.so.10()(64bit) libkadm5srv_mit.so.10(kadm5srv_mit_10_MIT)(64bit) from subpackage libkadm5 but does not have explicit package version requirement.
Please add Requires: libkadm5 = %{version}-%{release} to krb5-workstation in the specfile to avoid the need to test interoperability between the various combinations of old and new subpackages. ''

This was also reported for krb5-server-ldap, but there it is not that problem as it depends on exact version of krb5-server, what in turn depends on exact version of libkadm5. It would be however, a nice to have for krb5-server-ldap too.

For krb5-workstation it is also not a problem now in RHEL-7.3, as libkadm5 was just introduced and there is no other version that could be installed, but it will be a problem with the next release.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
krb5-1.14.1-18.el7

Comment 1 Robbie Harwood 2016-07-20 23:16:19 UTC
Since this was reported by rpmdiff on the split, I think it makes sense to treat it as a problem with the split.
