Description of problem: please bump the el7 glib2 version, as we already released glib2-2.56.1-4.el7_6 in 7.6.z but still have glib2-2.56.1-4.el7 in 7.7, this coincidence break update path 7.6->7.7 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glib2-2.56.1-4.el7 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

i'm not sure this is strictly necessary. We can do it if it fixes an upgrade test or something, but both builds should be interchangeable. they have equivalent content.

It is not about non-interchange changes, versions and patches are ok. I believe it is not only about the test is self, but if "already newer pkg" as rpm think is installed the yum update will fail. I can try tomorrow.
fwiw, i'm pretty sure we've allowed this kind of version skew in the past. see example 2 from https://mojo.redhat.com/docs/DOC-1001180 . bar-2.4-4.el5 is built on the newest branch and bar-2.4-4.el5_8 is built on the z-stream. this was okay because the developer did a git merge, so both builds had the same content.
OK you are right (as always) yum seems to simply skip glib2-2.56.1-4.el7 so the only one complaining is rpm. So now there is a question whether we still want to fix, on the other hand its something that is almost zero effort.
