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: Error: Package: 1:nftables-0.6-1.el7.x86_64 (@epel) Requires: libnftnl.so.4(LIBNFTNL_4)(64bit) Removing: libnftnl-1.0.6-6.el7.x86_64 (@base) libnftnl.so.4(LIBNFTNL_4)(64bit) Updated By: libnftnl-1.0.8-1.el7.x86_64 (centos7-x86_64-cr) ~libnftnl.so.7(LIBNFTNL_5)(64bit) Available: libnftnl-1.0.6-1.el7.x86_64 (centos7-x86_64) libnftnl.so.4(LIBNFTNL_4)(64bit) Error: Package: 1:nftables-0.6-1.el7.x86_64 (@epel) Requires: libnftnl.so.4(LIBNFTNL_4.1)(64bit) Removing: libnftnl-1.0.6-6.el7.x86_64 (@base) libnftnl.so.4(LIBNFTNL_4.1)(64bit) Updated By: libnftnl-1.0.8-1.el7.x86_64 (centos7-x86_64-cr) Not found Available: libnftnl-1.0.6-1.el7.x86_64 (centos7-x86_64) libnftnl.so.4(LIBNFTNL_4.1)(64bit) Error: Package: 1:nftables-0.6-1.el7.x86_64 (@epel) Requires: libnftnl.so.4()(64bit) Removing: libnftnl-1.0.6-6.el7.x86_64 (@base) libnftnl.so.4()(64bit) Updated By: libnftnl-1.0.8-1.el7.x86_64 (centos7-x86_64-cr) ~libnftnl.so.7()(64bit) Available: libnftnl-1.0.6-1.el7.x86_64 (centos7-x86_64) libnftnl.so.4()(64bit) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Expected results: Successful installation. Additional info:
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 ?
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.
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.
