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.

Hello, gating test leapp.brew-build.upgrade.distro of anaconda build for 9.0.0 anaconda-34.25.0.18-1.el9 is failing with the issue.

Are you planning to address this issue?
We are still waiving our leapp gating test.

wireless-regdb in RHEL 9 is supposed to obsolete the crda package from RHEL 8. crda had an update in RHEL 8 and its version is no longer covered. The provides/obsoletes version in wireless-regdb.spec needs to be bumped to cover the current crda in RHEL 8.

Created attachment 1842599 [details]
bump provides/obsoletes for crda

Proposed spec file patch.

Installed RHEL-8.5.0 on a system. Confirmed crda installed. Set up a repo file pointing at RHEL-9.0.0-20211129.2. Ran dnf install wireless-regdb. Was able to successfully install wireless-regdb, which also correctly removed crda. Rebooted the system. Still able to probe the current regulatory settings without issue. Marking as verified.

Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
