1818118 – openvswitch: yum update using wrapper file to allow for stream change fails in RHEL-8

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 of problem:

The yum update command fails to update the openvswitch package when pointing to a wrapper file to allow for stream change.

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

FDP 20.C

How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install starting version of openvswitch (ex. openvswitch2.11)
2. Create wrapper file (ex. product-openvswitch-2.13-1.el8.noarch.rpm) and add it to a local repo
3. Perform: yum -y update product-openvswitch

Actual results:

Error:

Package product-openvswitch available, but not installed.
No match for argument: product-openvswitch
Error: No packages marked for upgrade.

Expected results:

The openvswitch package is successfuly updated to the new stream.


Additional info:

- "yum -y install product-openvswitch" is successful.
- "yum -y update product-openvswitch" is successful in RHEL-7 environment.

Comment 1 Rick Alongi 2020-05-01 13:44:25 UTC

Behavior tracked in this BZ has also been observed in FDP 20.D testing.

Comment 2 Timothy Redaelli 2020-05-29 12:00:43 UTC

Reassigning to dnf since on RHEL8 dnf is used and the behavior is different than yum

Comment 6 Jaroslav Mracek 2021-03-16 08:33:00 UTC
