Expected results:
Ipa upgrade should be successful from RHEL 7.0 to latest package.
Additional info:
If we upgrade RHEL 7.0 to RHEL 7.1.z and then upgrade to latest package, then upgrade is successful.
This bug happens if admin upgrades directly from RHEL 7.0 to RHEL 7.4. If the admin upgrades e.g. to RHEL 7.1 first and then to RHEL 7.0 then it doesn't happen.
It should be documented to advise to update to lesser version first if upgrading to from RHEL 7.0.

I think we might already have this covered -- see 8.1.1. Considerations for Updating Identity Management in the description for updating IdM:
----
Red Hat recommends upgrading to the next version only. For example, if you want to upgrade to Identity Management for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4, we recommend upgrading from Identity Management for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3. Upgrading from earlier versions can cause problems.

Petr, does this cover the situation in this bug report? Would you change or add anything? If not, can I close this BZ?

Ok, thanks! I'll just close this as a duplicate of the BZ for which we added the paragraph.
