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 Troy Dawson 2021-06-17 02:29:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
lmdb was originally in EPEL, and many packages in EPEL used it for building.  It was then put into RHEL8, but only the libraries.  lmdb and lmdb-devel were completely removed, not even in CRB.
This is causing all of the packages that depended on lmdb-devel in EPEL to not be updatable.

lmdb and lmdb-devel is missing from any part of RHEL8.  Please at least put them in CRB.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lmdb-0.9.24-1.el8

Affected Packages:
The affected package with the most impact is kf5-baloo.  If kf5-baloo isn't able to be rebuilt, it will affect:

 * dolphin
 * gwenview
 * plasma-desktop
 * plasma-mediacenter
 * plasma-milou
 * plasma-workspace

Summary:
Basically withouth lmdb and lmdb-devel, KDE Plasma Desktop cannot be rebuilt.
Here's the kicker.
RHEL 8.5 has an update to qt5, and the KDE Plasma Desktop HAS to be rebuilt.
In short, if lmdb isn't anywhere in RHEL 8.5, KDE from EPEL8 will be uninstallable.
Comment 1 Troy Dawson 2021-06-17 19:48:59 UTC 
It has been shown to me that the RHEL version of lmdb-devel doesn't require lmdb.
If this is indeed the case, then feel free to change this request to just put lmdb-devel in CRB.  As long as lmdb-devel is installable.
Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2021-06-21 11:12:06 UTC 
This is available in CentOS Stream koji here https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=8373 via the download link.  Is there a reason this must be present in the Red Hat product to accomplish what you're trying to do?
Comment 3 Troy Dawson 2021-06-21 13:37:46 UTC 
regular EPEL is built off real RHEL.  Not CentOS, CentOS Stream, Oracle Linux, Alma, or Rocky.
If EPEL starts pulling from various koji's and/or builds from other releases, even if they are Red Hat sponsored, where does that stop?

In addition, if we pull from where you suggest, that means we have to setup a whole new infrastucture that keeps track of a various list of packages missing from RHEL, figures out where those missing packages are at on the CentOS koji, and then updates itself each time a package is updated.  That is possible, but judging from our current EPEL volunteer workloads, that will take about 2 years to implement.
Comment 5 Troy Dawson 2022-05-24 15:13:20 UTC 
The original request for this was for both lmdb and lmdb-devel to be added to RHEL8 CRB.
lmdb-devel has been added to RHEL8 CRB, but not lmdb.
But, lmdb-devel in RHEL8 requires lmdb-libs, not lmdb.

We have reviewed everything in epel and found that there is nothing that requires lmdb directly.  Everything only needed lmdb-devel.  So it is ok that lmdb is not available.

Thank you for putting lmdb-devel in RHEL8 CRB.
This ticket can be closed.
Comment 6 Alexander Bokovoy 2022-05-31 13:02:59 UTC 
Reopening. This bug, unfortunately, was missed and now creates problems for Samba and other packages which rely on lmdb.

Samba is routinely rebuilt externally by third party vendors to provide Samba AD functionality. This requires lmdb and is not possible now as lmdb package is not available.

Please reconsider and add lmdb back. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2091970 for details
