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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0451 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE virt-manager bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 21:07:45 UTC

Description Karel Srot 2012-11-02 14:58:01 UTC 
Description of problem:

because the yum uses a bit different (and more complicated) depsolver, it cannot simply deal with updates from arch to noarch package and vice versa.

virt-manager should explicitly obsolete the noarch version so it is properly updated.

The issue was originally filed as yum bug 727606, please see
comments  727606#c18 and 727606#c19 for more details.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.9

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to update virt-manager-0.8.6.noarch -> 0.9.x86_64 with yum
  
Actual results:
not updated

Expected results:
pkg updated properly

Comment 3 Karel Srot 2012-11-05 06:55:46 UTC 
Hi,
I am sorry I wasn't precise in the bug description. The problem appears with yum localupdate, not yum update (727606#c0 or 727606#c17).
Comment 4 Geyang Kong 2012-11-05 08:20:39 UTC 
I've retried following steps and reproduced this bug now:

1. Install rhel6.2 with virtualization tools
2. Make sure it has virt-manager-0.8.6-4.el6.noarch
3. Make a rhel6.4 repo(since virt-manager-0.9.0-15 depends on some other packages so this step is necessary).
4. Download virt-manager-0.9.0-15.el6.x86_64.rpm
5. yum update virt-manager
6. rpm -e virt-manager
7. Delete the yum repo created in step 3.(This step is necessary, or yum update will work well)
8. Download virt-manager-0.8.6-4.el6.noarch.rpm and install it.
9. yum update virt-manager-0.9.0-15.el6.x86_64.rpm

Result:
[root@localhost Downloads]# yum update virt-manager-0.9.0-15.el6.x86_64.rpm 
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, subscription-manager

Comment 7 Geyang Kong 2012-12-04 02:45:49 UTC 
Verified pass on the following build:
virt-manager-0.9.0-16.el6.x86_64

Steps:
Same as Comment 4

Result:
1. Virt-manager can be updated by yum from noarch to x86_64 arch.

So mark this bug as VERIFIED.
