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:
Unsatisfied dependencies for xorg-x11-drv-mach64-6.9.4-9.el6.x86_64:

Additional info:
IRC chat with ajax:
<ajax> jwright: fixed in 6.9.5, which we never upgraded to
<ajax> file a 6.9 bug please? really should make sure that gets fixed before we stop doing rhel6 updates
The initial report here is a bit unclear. The real bug is that 6.9.4 assumed the existence of an X server API called xf86LinearVidMem, which only did anything meaningful on some _very_ old alpha CPUs. 6.8's xserver update eliminated that interface, but mach64 6.9.4-10 would still try to call it (and crash).
The initial report's text of:
Unsatisfied dependencies for xorg-x11-drv-mach64-6.9.4-9.el6.x86_64:
xserver-abi(videodrv-15) >= 0 is needed by xorg-x11-drv-mach64-6.9.4-9.el6.x86_64
Is from attempting to downgrade from 6.9.4-10 to -9; since -9 was built against the older xserver ABI, the rpm dependency checks would refuse to allow it to be installed, since that _also_ would not work.
The upstream 6.9.5 release is entirely minor bugfixes relative to 6.9.4, including the one that fixes this issue:
