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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1481225 +++

Description of problem:

The inclusion of the /usr/libexec/libsudo_util.so shared library introduced in a rebase (RHBA-2017:26879) to newer version of sudo caused an unintended dependency of the sudo-devel sub-package on the versioned part of the libsudo_util library residing in the main sudo package.

Since the previous sudo package didn't require the 32-bit counterpart of the main package to be installed when the 32-bit sudo-devel sub-package was being installed in a 64-bit environment, the update to the latest version of the sudo package causes conflicts preventing a successful upgrade in multilib environments.

As a solution, we should revert to the previous state of the -devel sub-package files section and include the new library in the main files section.
