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).

Description Kevin Stange 2018-05-04 16:15:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

Since the EL 7.5 release, a new version of libnftnl is provided (libnftnl.so.7) which cannot be updated because current nftables from EPEL requires libnftnl.so.4.

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

nftables-0.6-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install nftables on EL7.4
2. Attempt to upgrade to 7.5 via yum

Actual results:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Expected results:

Successful installation.

Odd. nftables and libnftnl in epel7 were both retired when they were added to rhel7. They are no longer in epel7 repos that I can see. 

Perhaps you have a install with one of the old/no longer shipped nftables installled? It should upgrade I would expect (all the rhel7 versions are newer than this old epel7 version). 

Check also for excludes ?
Comment 2 Kevin Stange 2018-05-07 17:09:45 UTC 
Just so this bug is not without an answer:

nftables-0.6-1.el7.x86_64 from EPEL had epoch of 1
nftables-0.8-7.el7.x86_64 from EL7 has epoch of 0

My system therefore saw the older version as an upgrade.  Running a "downgrade" fixed this issue.  Thanks for providing the needed context.
Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2018-05-07 20:54:21 UTC 
Ah ha. Yes indeed. 

I'm going to move this over to rhel 7.5 maintainers. 

They may wish to document this, do nothing or add an Epoch to the rhel package.
