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 of problem:
qemu-kvm-hw-usbredir was renamed to qemu-kvm-device-usb-redirect
To ensure an upgrade path for DNF, the new package needs *both* Provides and Obsoletes, but it only has Provides.
The "Provides" means new installs can be satisfied with the new package alone
The missing 'Obsoletes' means DNF doesn't know to uninstall the old package
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.2.0-10.el9
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install qemu-kvm 6.1.0-2.el9.x86_64
2. dnf upgrade
3.
Actual results:
# dnf update
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8

Error:
Problem: cannot install both qemu-kvm-common-17:6.2.0-10.el9.x86_64 and qemu-kvm-common-17:6.1.0-2.el9.x86_64
- package qemu-kvm-hw-usbredir-17:6.1.0-2.el9.x86_64 requires qemu-kvm-common(x86-64) = 17:6.1.0-2.el9, but none of the providers can be installed
- cannot install the best update candidate for package qemu-kvm-common-17:6.1.0-2.el9.x86_64
- problem with installed package qemu-kvm-hw-usbredir-17:6.1.0-2.el9.x86_64
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
Expected results:
dnf replaces qemu-kvm-hw-usbredir with qemu-kvm-device-usb-redirect
