Description of problem: I ran the following command in F29 with updates-testing enabled to test upgrading to F30 sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=30 I got the error Problem 9: problem with installed package scap-workbench-1.2.0-2.fc29.i686 - package scap-workbench-1.2.0-2.fc30.i686 requires libopenscap.so.25, but none of the providers can be installed - scap-workbench-1.2.0-2.fc29.i686 does not belong to a distupgrade repository - openscap-1:1.3.0-3.fc29.i686 does not belong to a distupgrade repository openscap-1.3.0-3.fc30 has epoch 0, while openscap-1.3.0-3 in F29 has epoch 1 to fix a dnf issue where the version number of openscap-1.3.0_alpha2 was considered as higher than openscap-1.3.0. The f29 branch has the commit 034205 which added epoch: 1 and 77f907 which added the epoch to the requires: for the openscap subpackages https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openscap/commits/f29 Those commits don't appear in the F30 branch. As a result, dnf treats openscap-1.3.0_alpha2-2.fc30 as the latest version in F30 instead of openscap-1.3.0-3.fc30. When I ran sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=30 --skip-broken --allowerasing , scap-workbench was removed and openscap-* were downgraded to 1.3.0_alpha2-2.fc30 Removing dependent packages: ... scap-workbench i686 1.2.0-2.fc29 @updates-testing 2.8 M ...

Applying the epoch changes in 034205 and 77f907 to the F30 and master branches and rebuilding should fix this issue. Thanks.

Hi, changing the epoch helped us to solve previous problems with packaging the alpha versions. Do I understand it well that the epoch should be changed in Fedora 30 branch as well? What will happen after Fedora 29 end-of-life if we introduce the epoch change to Fedora 30? Will we have to revert the patch (that increments the epoch) at some point or should the patch be carried forever? Thanks.
Jan, openscap-0:1.3.0_alpha2-2.fc30 has a higher version than openscap-0:1.3.0-3.fc30 according to dnf so the same problem is in F30. I think that the openscap epoch should be 1 in F30 and F31. When upgrading from F29 to F30, dnf will downgrade the openscap packages unless they have epoch: 1 in F30. I don't think further changes should be needed after F29 is EOL. I think the Epoch: 1 should be carried forward indefinitely until the epoch may need to be increased again. I'm not a Fedora maintainer though. Thanks.
Jan & Matt: I am a Fedora package maintainer. Adding an Epoch permanently is the correct way to solve the problem. Please fix this for Fedora 30. I would like to install scap-workbench without having to workaround it by installing the F29 RPMs of openscap. References: 1. I have 2735 packages on my laptop and 305 have Epochs 2. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Versioning/#_epoch_tag Example downgrade workaround on F30: $ sudo dnf install http://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/29/Everything/x86_64/Packages/o/openscap-1.3.0-3.fc29.x86_64.rpm http://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/29/Everything/x86_64/Packages/o/openscap-scanner-1.3.0-3.fc29.x86_64.rpm http://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/29/Everything/x86_64/Packages/o/openscap-utils-1.3.0-3.fc29.x86_64.rpm
I removed openscap and scap-workbench in F29 before I upgraded to F30 on April 6 due to the dnf system-upgrade errors I originally reported. When I ran sudo dnf install scap-workbench in F30, I got the following error because openscap-1.3.0_alpha2-2.fc30 was in the F30 fedora repo as it still is and provides libopenscap.so.24: Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides libopenscap.so.25 needed by scap-workbench-1.2.0-2.fc30.i686 I installed openscap-1.3.0-3.fc30, openscap-utils, and openscap-scanner from https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1194969 I installed scap-workbench-1.2.0-2.fc30 without errors after that. scap-workbench ran fine. When I've run sudo dnf upgrade --refresh since then, I've gotten the following errors because openscap-1.3.0-3.fc30 still has Epoch: 0 and dnf treats openscap-1.3.0_alpha2-2.fc30 as having the higher version number. openscap-1.3.0_alpha2-2.fc30 is in the F30 fedora repo as the following output from today shows.

Applying the epoch changes in the F29 branch to the F30 and master branches would be a preferable way to fix this problem as mentioned. Thanks.
Thank you, I'll update the spec file and rebuild with Epoch 1.

Jan, can you please bump the epoch in f31 (master) as well? Otherwise, you will have to resolve this issue again next time.
Thank you, I have rebuilt the rawhide. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=34951085
