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 Christophe Besson 2021-02-24 10:08:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
Customer wanted to run an IPU to RHEL 8 with Leapp.
After installing leapp with its dependencies (including dnf), using it leads to a python coredump. Yum segfaults too, and DNF is not usable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa | grep -e leapp -e dnf -e librepo- | grep -v debuginfo
python2-libdnf-0.22.5-2.el7_9.x86_64
leapp-repository-0.13.0-2.el7_9.noarch
dnf-data-4.0.9.2-1.el7_6.noarch
libdnf-0.22.5-2.el7_9.x86_64
dnf-4.0.9.2-1.el7_6.noarch
leapp-deps-0.12.0-1.el7_9.noarch
leapp-repository-deps-0.13.0-2.el7_9.noarch
leapp-0.12.0-1.el7_9.noarch
python2-dnf-4.0.9.2-1.el7_6.noarch
python2-leapp-0.12.0-1.el7_9.noarch
librepo-1.7.16-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a fully updated RHEL 7.9 system
2. Downgrade to librepo-1.7.16-1.el7.x86_64 to match the customer environment
3. Install Leapp (which comes with DNF/libdnf from RHEL 7 extras)

Actual results:
~~~

Segmentation fault

Expected results:
Leapp, Yum and DNF does not crash.

Additional info:
* Filed this bug against libdnf because I don't see an explicit dependency to librepo with the required version, possibly move it to another component if needed.

* Updating the latest librepo thanks to the rpm command fixes the issue.

* Yum is broken because it reads the libdnf python wrapper once it is installed:

python leapp bt

likely not useful
Comment 3 Daniel Mach 2021-02-25 09:40:38 UTC 
Is there a reason why librepo couldn't be upgraded to the latest version?
librepo-1.8.1-7.el7 should be the latest available.
