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.

..and process fails.
chained are i686 arch?(libwbclient?) and such a looong list of deps.
Samba downgrade used to work I remember. And it saved a day or two in the past after an upgrade of buggy samba version.

yum downgrade samba
Comment 4 lejeczek 2017-01-26 11:36:30 UTC 
there is more, so it might be a lot further down the chain and more serious(or trivial), here:

]$ yum downgrade bind

I'm not sure where this bug report should go?
thanks
Comment 5 lejeczek 2017-01-26 11:46:55 UTC 
ok, because system I run off is Centos, mailing list signals this might the cause, the problem.
If yes, that would be a big! bummer.
Comment 6 Andreas Schneider 2017-01-26 15:43:32 UTC 
I see centos and rhel7 packages. Yum also reports issues with your rpmdb. It looks like yum chooses i686 packages for some reason maybe because your package cache is crippled you should fix rpmdb and the metadata cache. If you're running centos and have a mix of packages, I do not see how this can be our fault.
Comment 7 lejeczek 2017-01-26 16:57:24 UTC 
But I don't, not a single rpm is 686, and only Centos' repos

repo id                             repo name                             status
base/7/x86_64                       CentOS-7 - Base                       9,363
extras/7/x86_64                     CentOS-7 - Extras                       242
updates/7/x86_64                    CentOS-7 - Updates                      786
repolist: 10,391

there is nothing wrong with rpmdb, problem is IPA - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1370134
