Description Adam Williamson 2017-08-29 15:27:43 UTC
The Provides: (for shim and shim-signed) and Obsoletes: (for shim-signed) that were added in the 13-0.3 build don't actually work:

[adamw@xps13k tmp]$ rpm -qp --provides shim-x64-13-0.3.x86_64.rpm 
warning: shim-x64-13-0.3.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID f5282ee4: NOKEY
bundled(openssl) = 1.0.2j
shim-signed-x64 = 13-0.3
shim-x64 = 13-0.3
shim-x64(x86-64) = 13-0.3

[adamw@xps13k tmp]$ rpm -qp --obsoletes shim-x64-13-0.3.x86_64.rpm 
warning: shim-x64-13-0.3.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID f5282ee4: NOKEY
shim < 13-0.3

I believe this is because (due to the define_pkg macro) they come after the subpackage description, which I think kinda 'closes' the subpackage metadata block. I think these Provides: and Obsoletes: would be applied to the main package (shim-signed), except we don't actually produce that package, so they just kinda...disappear into the ether. But I haven't actually checked this against the RPM documentation (hah) or whatever, it's just my guess.

This is a clear Fedora 27 Beta blocker, because it breaks UEFI installs: anaconda expects to install the package 'shim' for UEFI installs (through the bootloader class stuff), and there is nothing to provide 'shim', so it just dies.

Confirmed fixed in 13-0.4 - https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=962873 .

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2017-08-31 15:23:24 UTC
Update here: 13-0.4 was not actually tagged for anything. It was built after the Bodhi activation point for F27 so it didn't go into F27 directly, and Peter didn't tag it for Rawhide.

Kevin is going to just tag it for both (bypassing Bodhi for F27) and refire the composes.
