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).

Description of problem:
Stumbled on this because of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1727105.
Installing inkscape on RHEL8.1 results in yum downgrading a lot of packages in order to fulfil dependencies, since inkscape depends on an older version of poppler:

Transaction Summary
=========================================================================================================================================================================
Install 10 Packages
Downgrade 24 Packages
How can I disable this behaviour? I don't want yum to fail if dependencies are not fulfilled, not downgrade packages and thereby leaving my system in an undesired state (i.e. not up-to-date).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-4.2.7-7.el8_1.noarch
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. 'yum install' on package with deps to an old version of a package (inkscape for example, currently)
2.
3.
Actual results:
yum downgrades packages to fulfil the dependencies
Expected results:
yum should fail because dependencies are not met

Typo correction - i _do_ want yum to fail if dependencies are not fulfilled
--- Additional comment from adam winberg on 2019-12-06 08:11:06 UTC ---
Anyone? On an enterprise distro you hardly want to downgrade packages and risk end up in a vulnerable state, just to satisfy dependencies.
Is there really no way to make yum/dnf fail instead?
--- Additional comment from Jaroslav Mracek on 2019-12-11 14:14:42 UTC ---
Thank you very much for the report. Please could you provide an additional information about your system? It is needed to properly decide what we can do for you.
Please could you provide outputs form following commands?
yum repolist
yum repoquery --info --installed --available libreoffice-ure inkscape
yum module list
Thanks a lot.
--- Additional comment from adam winberg on 2019-12-11 14:23:35 UTC ---
We're using local yum mirrors so the repolist is not so useful to you I think. In the example with inkscape there is only one repo involved (tfolinux-rhel-appstream), which is a copy of the AppStream repo from Red Hat. The repo is copied nightly from Red Hats CDN using Pulp.
