Description Adam Williamson 2026-02-24 19:16:10 UTC
Currently, the stable FreeIPA for F43 is 4.13.1-5.fc43 , the stable FreeIPA for F44 is 4.13.1-2.fc44 . FreeIPA has an internal check on upgrade that the 'new' version is higher than the 'old' version and refuses to run the upgrade or start up if it's not, so FreeIPA is now broken on upgrade from F43 to F44.

This is a violation of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_44_Beta_Release_Criteria#Server_upgrade_requirements "It must be possible to successfully complete a direct upgrade from a fully updated installation of each of the last two stable Fedora Server releases with the system configured as a FreeIPA domain controller or postgresql server as specified in the relevant criteria", so proposing as a Beta blocker.

This is happening because the pending F44 update , https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-b73dee6cac , has been failing testing. The latest issue is some kind of dependency problem:

- nothing provides libgse-private-samba.so(SAMBA_4.24.0RC2_PRIVATE_SAMBA)(64bit) needed by freeipa-server-trust-ad-4.13.1-6.fc44.x86_64 from advisory

To resolve this we need to fix the problems with that update and get it to pass gating, then it can be pushed stable.

Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2026-02-24 19:16:58 UTC
FEDORA-2026-b73dee6cac (freeipa-4.13.1-6.fc44, krb5-1.22.2-2.fc44, and 1 more) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 44.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2026-02-24 19:22:16 UTC
It seems wrong that freeipa-server-trust-ad is linking against that soname at all.

This isn't specific to F44, the F43 build requires "libgse-private-samba.so(SAMBA_4.23.5_PRIVATE_SAMBA)(64bit)" and the F45 build requires "libgse-private-samba.so(SAMBA_4.24.0RC2_PRIVATE_SAMBA)(64bit)".

There's an rc3 build in the pipeline for Rawhide right now which provides 4.24.0RC3 not 4.24.0RC2, so if that went stable it would break freeipa-server-trust-ad. Surely it should only be linking against / requiring libgse-private-samba.so()(64bit) ?

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2026-02-24 21:25:10 UTC
+3 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/2050 , marking accepted. The update has now passed tests so we can push it.

This is resolved, not sure why it wasn't autoclosed.
