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 Pino Toscano 2022-05-16 13:39:14 UTC

Description of problem:
The subscription-manager source currently builds the subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates package, and because of that the subscription-manager packages can require a strict version of subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates.

Due to the upcoming split of subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates in its own source, the subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates will have its own version system different than subscription-manager itself, and thus this will break the current versioned Require.

The solution for this is to do a simple build of the current version in RHEL 9 with the only change of dropping the version in the subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates Requires. This will make sure that builds of the upcoming subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates source will be able to satisfy the subscription-manager requirements.

This was fixed upstream with commit:

Before the fix was applied....

[root@kvm-03-guest04 ~]# rpm -qa | grep subscription-manager

python3-subscription-manager-rhsm-1.29.26-3.el9_0.x86_64
libdnf-plugin-subscription-manager-1.29.26-3.el9_0.x86_64

[root@kvm-03-guest04 ~]# 
[root@kvm-03-guest04 ~]# rpm -q python3-subscription-manager-rhsm --requires | grep subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates
subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates = 1.29.26-3.el9_0
[root@kvm-03-guest04 ~]# 
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS IS THE VERSION DEPENDENCY THAT WE WANT TO LOOSEN WHICH IS CURRENTLY RELEASED ON RHEL-9.0


After the fix was applied (Fixed in version subscription-manager-1.29.26-4.el9)...

[root@kvm-03-guest04 ~]# rpm -qa | grep subscription-manager
subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates-1.29.26-4.el9.x86_64

                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PRE-VERIFIED: THE STRICT VERSION DEPENDENCY ON subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates HAS BEEN REMOVED ALLOWING subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates TO BE UPGRADED OR DOWNGRADED WITHOUT CONFLICT TO THE INSTALLED VERSION OF python3-subscription-manager-rhsm.
