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 dehanmeng 2021-07-03 04:29:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
Check the build version of qemu-ga-win in windows guest, Found the build version were checked from guest is not same with qga command 'guest-info'.

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


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot up windows guest.
2. check qga program build version in guest via following two methods:
    (1). click 'control panel' --> 'Program' --> 'Program and features' --> click 'QEMU guest agent' and check the bottom you can see the "RedHat product version 102.0.0"
    (2) open cmd and run command "wmic product where Name="QEMU guest agent" get Version | findstr /v Version", the result is 102.0.0
3.connect guest on host to send qga command "guest-info"
[root@dell-per440-01 qemu-ga-win]# nc -U /tmp/avocado_w_eopcls/serial-org.qemu.guest_agent.0-20210702-055050-jUUACj8M
{"execute":"guest-info"}
{"return": {"version": "102.0.1" ....}}

And I also tried other 102.0.0 above build of qemu-ga-win, all of them have this issue.

Actual results:

Expected results:

Additional info:
Comment 1 dehanmeng 2021-07-03 04:44:32 UTC 
The reason why I set a regression tag because I tried to use an original build of qga rpm 'qemu-ga-win-101.2.0-1.el7ev.noarch.rpm' but there is no that issue. so set a regression flag.
Comment 2 dehanmeng 2021-07-07 08:17:41 UTC 
Recently I hit another issue that the qga upgrade operation needs uninstall the previous version of qga ahead. but the original design doesn't need to uninstall the old one, just upgrade the latest qga directly. After confirmation with Yan, this issue seems to be caused by this one, so update this info here as a tracker: upgrade between minor versions is now broken.
Comment 7 dehanmeng 2021-07-14 02:40:24 UTC 
Reproduce this issue with 
mingw-qemu-ga-win-102.5.0-0.el8

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot up windows guest.
2. check qga program build version in guest via the following two methods:
    (1). click 'control panel' --> 'Program' --> 'Program and features' --> click 'QEMU guest agent' and check the bottom you can see the "RedHat product version 102.0.0"
    (2) open cmd and run command "wmic product where Name="QEMU guest agent" get Version | findstr /v Version", the result is 102.0.0
3.connect guest on the host to send qga command "guest-info"
[root@dell-per440-01 qemu-ga-win]# nc -U /tmp/avocado_w_eopcls/serial-org.qemu.guest_agent.0-20210702-055050-jUUACj8M
{"execute":"guest-info"}
{"return": {"version": "102.5.1" ....}}

Verify this issue with
mingw-qemu-ga-win-102.6.0-0.el8

Steps to verify as above

Actual result:
host:
{"execute":"guest-info"}
{"return": {"version": "102.6.0"

on guest:
102.6.0

Expected result:
qga build version are the same between guest and host.
