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 jcastran 2022-12-01 20:32:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
yum install poppler is incorrectly resolving dependencies. When we install poppler, we get a lower version of nss.
 
> NOTE Ubi systems will only see this if they also see a full repo such as the CDN since ubi repos don't have multiple versions of nss
> NOTE this is more widespread than just poppler and nss. This is just my example

**Reproducer Steps**
# podman run --rm -it --entrypoint=bash registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-minimal:8.7-923
# microdnf install yum
[root@7bfe6edc1e56 /]# yum install poppler --assumeno

How reproducible:
Everytime

Expected results:
The latest dependency should be installed.

Additional info:
This is marked urgent as this is more widespread than just a poppler dependency. For another example, installing nss for instance results in crypto-policies being downgraded.

It appears this was caused by 
 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1988117
 - https://pkgs.devel.redhat.com/cgit/rpms/libsolv/tree/0003-Improve-choice-rule-generation.patch?h=rhel-8.7.0&id=5b1f0d9db3c5329323f02d187b4b70cfd692d398

**Workaround**
# microdnf install <pkg>
# microdnf update

OR with yum, if you downgrade libsolv to 0.7.20-1.el8
# yum downgrade libsolv-0.7.20-1.el8
Comment 1 Kyle Walker 2022-12-02 13:26:41 UTC 
I'm still working through the why, but this is due to the following patch that was included in libsolv-0.7.20-3:

	From fd52342713012ec111b1559fa1647f88768fa782 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
	From: Michael Schroeder <mls>
	Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2022 15:17:20 +0100
	Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Improve choice rule generation

	New strategy: take the package update map into account when creating
	choice rules. This simplifies the code quite a bit. Also check at
	the end of the solving if a choice rule led to two packages providing
	the same thing. In that case, break the choice rule and re-run the
	solver.

Reverting that single patch results in the correct behaviour.
