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 Petr Šabata 2019-01-16 19:59:52 UTC
Today libmodulemd throws an error when it encounters a module defaults conflict it cannot resolve, for instance if two repositories with the same priority contain modulemd-defaults with identical version yet different content.

This results in a DNF error the user cannot effectively do anything about besides disabling one of the repositories.  We decided to change the behavior to ignore the conflict instead, and report a warning.

This affects the available package set but has no impact on users already consuming the content and having a stream enabled.  Users can also still pick a stream manually.

Extra notes:

* QE tests might need to be updated.

* Since this changes the available package set, ursine packages that depend on packages provided by the affected module will not be installable until the situation is resolved.
