Bug List: (4 of 6)
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 Daniel Berrangé 2022-07-12 10:50:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
For the past few days (at least), it has been impossible to install libbpf-devel in CentOS 8 Stream

$ podman  run -it quay.io/centos/centos:stream8
[root@a4d0611f6f84 /]# dnf config-manager --set-enabled -y powertools 
[root@a4d0611f6f84 /]# dnf install libbpf-devel

Error: 
 Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - nothing provides kernel-headers >= 4.18.0-402 needed by libbpf-devel-0.5.0-1.el8.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)


The kernel-4.18.0-402 build dates from mid-June, but baseos repos in centos8 stream appear to only have 4.18.0-394.el8 from mid-May

As a result the latest builds of libbpf-devel can't satisfy their deps in centos8 stream.

This has broken the upstream CI environment for QEMU which uses libbpf with centos8 stream containers

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-4.18.0-402
libbpf-devel-0.5.0-1.el8.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See steps in description using podman
Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2022-07-18 12:49:47 UTC 
NB, i raised this on rhel-devel subsequently and was told the problem is the process of publishing to centos stream, as CVE restrictions mean many builds get held up/blocked https://lists.corp.redhat.com/archives/rhel-devel/2022-July/001903.html
Comment 4 Daniel Berrangé 2022-07-20 15:30:55 UTC 
Looks to be resolved now with the -408 build public at last
