Description Terry Bowling 2018-04-27 13:40:24 UTC
Description of problem:

dnf-utils & createrepo_c from the YUM4/DNF CentOS SIG causes package downgrades with RHEL/CentOS  7.5.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

createrepo_c    0.10.0-18.el7
dnf-utils       2.1.5-4.el7

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Setup the YUM4 environment in an updated RHEL 7.5 environment

This seems to install just fine and no issues or package downgrades.

# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/centos-release-yum4-1-2.el7.centos.noarch.rpm
# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/centos-release-configmanagement-1-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm
# yum install -y centos-release-yum4-1-2.el7.centos.noarch.rpm  centos-release-configmanagement-1-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm
# yum install -y yum4 dnf-plugins-core


2. Install the dnf-utils and createrepo_c packages

# yum4 --allowerasing install dnf-utils createrepo_c


3.

Expected results:

both packages would simply install with dnf-utils simply replacing yum-utils package.


Actual results:

# yum4 --allowerasing install dnf-utils createrepo_c

Sadly, I did not check in advance to see what dependency was causing the downgrades.  

Afterwards, I tried to update and see the following conflicts:

Comment 2 Terry Bowling 2018-04-27 13:48:01 UTC
confirmed that I can replace dnf-utils with yum-utils and get the system back to using the latest versions from rhel-7.5.

createrepo_c does not appear to be the problem.

Comment 3 Marek Blaha 2018-04-30 13:34:35 UTC
This behavior is sort of expected. The problem is you have package libguestfs installed and updated to the latest version. This version depends on supermin5, and the supermin5 package requires the yum-utils.

Then you tried to install dnf-utils, but it conflicts with yum-utils. You've instructed dnf to allow erasing of packages to resolve dependencies, so you basically ended with:

1. downgrading of libguestfs to older version libguestfs-1:1.22.6-22.el7.x86_64 which does not require supermin5

2. removing yum-utils and supermin5 packages (and some others, but this two are important for our case)

3. installing dnf-utils instead of the yum-utils

dnf-utils cannot be installed together with dnf-utils, because they provide the same binaries - debuginfo-install, find-repos-of-install, repo-graph, package-cleanup, repoclosure, repomanage, repoquery, reposync, repotrack, yum-builddep, yum-config-manager, yum-debug-dump, yum-debug-restore, yumdownloader

But you can achieve the same result using yum4, having yum-utils on the same system installed. Just use corresponding yum4 plugin for the yum tool. See the table here:

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2018-11-27 14:17:52 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version' of '27'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2018-11-30 22:56:42 UTC
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
