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 Richard W.M. Jones 2018-12-17 22:18:26 UTC 
Description of problem:

libvirt is uninstallable on RHEL 8 because iptables has a broken dep:

DEBUG util.py:439:   Problem: package libvirt-daemon-kvm-4.10.0-1.module+el8+2317+367e35b5.x86_64 requires libvirt-daemon-driver-network = 4.10.0-1.module+el8+2317+367e35b5, but none of the providers can be installed

DEBUG util.py:439:    - nothing provides libnftnl.so.7()(64bit) needed by iptables-1.8.2-3.el8.x86_64

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

iptables-1.8.2-3.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above.
Comment 1 Jiri Denemark 2018-12-18 09:02:01 UTC 
This was broken by libnftnl-1.1.1-2.el8 which changed the libnftnl.so version
from 7 to 11. As a result of that, iptables cannot be installed anymore and
the buildroot for libvirt is broken.

So either iptables should be rebuilt or (preferably) the ABI breakage done in
libnftnl-1.1.1-2.el8 should be reverted.
Comment 3 Jiri Denemark 2018-12-18 09:14:30 UTC 
The error from libvirt build (initiated by mbs for virt-rhel module):

Please note that nftables needs rebuilding as well.
