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 Tomas Pelka 2017-02-08 15:02:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
Output from RPM Command:
	file /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop conflicts between attempted installs of firefox-45.1.1-1.el6_7.s390 and firefox-45.7.0-1.el6_8.s390x

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-45.7.0-1.el6_8.s390x

How reproducible:
100%

2.
3.

Actual results:
Output from RPM Command:
	file /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop conflicts between attempted installs of firefox-45.1.1-1.el6_7.s390 and firefox-45.7.0-1.el6_8.s390x

Comment 2 Tomas Pelka 2017-02-08 15:04:25 UTC 
Same for ppc64:

Output from RPM Command:
file /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop conflicts between attempted installs of firefox-45.7.0-1.el6_8.ppc64 and firefox-45.1.1-1.el6_7.ppc

So both arched (s390 and ppc) that were added are affected.
Comment 3 Martin Stransky 2017-02-08 16:49:45 UTC 
I believe that's because you upgrade multiarch packages (firefox-45.1.1-1.el6_7.ppc) to non-multiarch one (firefox-45.7.0-1.el6_8.ppc64).

You need to update to firefox-45.7.0-*2*.el6_8.ppc64 and firefox-45.7.0-*2*.el6_8.ppc.
Comment 4 Tomas Pelka 2017-02-08 20:59:57 UTC 
So here is my thinking. Last time we shipped s390 and ppc was https://errata.devel.redhat.com/advisory/25943 shipped in Dec 2016 (currently available-1).

FF version: firefox-45.6.0-1.el6_8

So assuming all customers sold have this version. So I took s390 and ppc rpms from mentioned advisory and manually replaced prehistoric firefox-45.1.1-1.el6_7. I believe this is the real situation on customer site.

old files for current QE erratum (skipping debuginfo):
firefox-45.6.0-1.el6_8.s390
firefox-45.7.0-1.el6_8.s390x

new files for current QE erratum (skipping debuginfo):
firefox-45.7.0-2.el6_8.s390
firefox-45.7.0-2.el6_8.s390x

Update works fine, downgrade works although tps complains about mixed pkg state which is expected as versions are really mixed.

This issue from my point of view is not a bug in FF but in ET it self.
