Description Vikas Laad 2016-10-12 17:08:43 UTC
Description of problem:
I am working on Openshift and trying to upgrade etcd to etcd3. When I try to just install etcd3 I get following error. I should be able to install etcd3 when v2 is installed.

root@ip-172-31-26-90: ~ # yum install etcd3                                                                                                         [660/1048]

Additional info:

Comment 1 Scott Dodson 2016-10-12 17:15:58 UTC
Workaround: yum swap etcd etcd3

Comment 3 Jan Chaloupka 2016-10-13 09:01:02 UTC
This is intended as the etcd3 must not remove etcd. Etcd contains user data which would be removed otherwise.

Comment 4 Timothy St. Clair 2016-10-13 14:38:44 UTC
I think there needs to be an Obsoletes for installation of etcd3.  

Etcd3 will provide a clean upgrade for 2.3.7, but it should be an explicit user upgrade .

Comment 5 Jan Chaloupka 2016-10-13 14:56:22 UTC
I would rather turn this into documentation/release notes.

Comment 6 Vikas Laad 2016-10-18 17:14:35 UTC
Jan, 

What would be expected behavior after the fix?

Comment 7 Eric Paris 2016-11-16 00:58:29 UTC
conflicts would be the right thing? not obsoletes?  no?

Comment 9 Qian Cai 2016-11-16 20:31:59 UTC
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts

"Keep in mind that implicit conflicts are NEVER acceptable. If your package conflicts with another package, then you must either resolve the conflict, or mark it with Conflicts:."

Comment 10 Jan Chaloupka 2016-11-18 11:18:30 UTC
This it not going to be fixed in 7.3.1. The next target candidate is 7.3.2.

Comment 11 Eric Paris 2016-11-18 13:21:20 UTC
In 7.3.2 we should update etcd to be version 3. The etcd3 rpm (and container) will be deprecated.

Comment 12 Jan Chaloupka 2016-11-30 15:12:18 UTC
*** Bug 1399920 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 13 Jan Chaloupka 2017-01-06 14:33:40 UTC
This can be closed as the etcd3 component is officially obsoleted by etcd.
