Description of problem:

Getting Protected multilib versions: libtasn1-3.8-3.el7.x86_64 != libtasn1-3.8-2.el7.i686 issues during upgrade of satellite 6.1.10 -> 6.2.2 due to missing libtasn1-i686 (3.8-3.el7) package in rhel-7-server-satellite-(and capsule)6.2-rpms repositories.

The x86_64 package is provided but not i686.

[root@capsule ~]# yum list libtasn1
Loaded plugins: aliases, changelog, package_upload, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager, verify, versionlock
Installed Packages
libtasn1.i686              3.8-2.el7        @anaconda/7.1
libtasn1.x86_64            3.8-2.el7        @anaconda/7.1
Available Packages
libtasn1.x86_64            3.8-3.el7        rhel-7-server-satellite-capsule-6.2-rpms

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
satellite 6.1.10 -> 6.2.2 upgrade.

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install satellite 6.1.10 server, make sure you have libtasn1 packages, both i686 and x86_64 installed.
2. Enable rhel-7-server-satellite-6.2-rpms repo.
3. yum upgrade

Actual results:

[root@capsule ~]# yum upgrade

rhel-7-server-rpms                                                                                                                                                                      | 2.3 kB  00:00:00

Error:  Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
       cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
       pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:

         1. You have an upgrade for libtasn1 which is missing some
            dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
            solve this by installing an older version of libtasn1 of the
            different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
            yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
            requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
            --exclude libtasn1.otherarch ... this should give you an error
            message showing the root cause of the problem.

         2. You have multiple architectures of libtasn1 installed, but
            yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures.
            If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
            can remove the one with the missing update and everything
            will work.

         3. You have duplicate versions of libtasn1 installed already.
            You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.

       ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
       this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
       do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
       much more problems).

       Protected multilib versions: libtasn1-3.8-3.el7.x86_64 != libtasn1-3.8-2.el7.i686

Expected results:

yum upgrade working

Additional info:

Workaround, using --setopt=protected_multilib=false works, but don't know if something will fail later on because I'm on different versions on x86_64/i686 libs now.

Comment 7 Bryan Kearney 2017-06-01 18:45:00 UTC
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this feature request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
