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:

Some packages (such as python-gmpy2) currently can not be backported from recent Fedora releases as they require mpc >= 1.0.3

RHEL 8.1 currently has 1.0.2.

If the release can be upgraded in a future point release, the reverse dependent packages can be built.


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

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to compile python-gmpy2 2.1
2. It complains that it needs mpc >= 1.0.3
3.

Actual results:
Build failure

Expected results:


Additional info:

Let's target RHEL 8.4 at this point.

# nothing

I've verified other arches too and the result is the same.
