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 of problem:
Package imsettings needs /bin/dbus-send binary, which was moved into /usr/bin by dbus rebase to version 1.10.22
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.6.3-9.el7
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. reserve rhel7 machine - $ 1minutetip rhel7
2. install the newest rhel7 version of dbus, dbus-libs and dbus-devel - $ yum -y install http://download.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/dbus/1.10.22/1.el7/x86_64/dbus-libs-1.10.22-1.el7.x86_64.rpmhttp://download.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/dbus/1.10.22/1.el7/x86_64/dbus-1.10.22-1.el7.x86_64.rpmhttp://download.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/dbus/1.10.22/1.el7/x86_64/dbus-x11-1.10.22-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
3. transaction ends with error:
ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:
/bin/dbus-send is needed by (installed) imsettings-1.6.3-9.el7.x86_64
Actual results:
dbus packages cannot be installed
Expected results:
dbus packages are installed
Additional info:
This bugzilla is created based on email conversation among myself, David King (RHEL maintainer of dbus package) and Akira TAGOH (RHEL maintainer of imsettings package). David suggested appropriate solution - imsettings should reload dbus.service instead of calling dbus-send binary (reloading of that service calls dbus-send internally, it looks like cleaner solution). Other solution is to set imsettings to look for dbus-send binary in /usr/bin instead of /bin.
I just want to add this bug is blocking installation or update of dbus package, so IMO it is kind of critical (only possible workaround is to uninstall imsettings package).
