2028113 – Conflict when updating libblockdev-lvm-devel

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 Vojtech Trefny 2021-12-01 13:57:27 UTC

This was discovered by RHEL 9.0 gating. The problem is that libblockdev-lvm-devel and libblockdev-lvm-dbus-devel are in theory independent packages so it is possible to update only one of them with dnf. But these also share the /usr/include/blockdev/lvm.h header file so if there is a change in this file upgrading only one of these packages will result in a conflict between them. We need to somehow fix this in libblockdev spec file to make sure libblockdev-lvm-devel and libblockdev-lvm-dbus-devel are always the same version and release.


Output from the gating test showing the error:

> the libblockdev-lvm-devel-2.25-11.el9.x86_64 still conflicts with libblockdev-lvm-dbus-devel-2.25-7.el9.x86_64.

The fix won't be able to resolve the upgrade from 2.25-7, it will affect only future upgrades from 2.25-11. I did a quick test scratch re-build[1], the idea is when upgrading libblockdev-lvm-devel from 2.25-11 to 2.25-12, upgrade of libblockdev-lvm-dbus-devel will be also forced:

Is this ok [y/N]: 
-----------------

I'm not sure if it makes sense to do a new build (no changes, just a release version bump) to fix this bug or if it can be marked as fixed because any future libblockdev build will "fix" it. What do you think?
