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 of problem:

The ipa-server dependency on krb5-server is that it is >= a specific version. The problem is that krb5 backend plugins are not necessarily ABI compatible between versions, so we also need something like:

Requires: krb5-server >= x.y
Requires: krb5-server < x.y+1

Upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3241

Fixed upstream:

master: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/f1ce31486c3032e92780421164a2e12a56693075/
ipa-3-0: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/18c3affb3ad5b6c5e3a123080badc812a7e20444/

Can you please add steps to verify this bug?
Thanks!

To verify you'd need to try to install a krb5-server package >= 1.11 and or one <= 1.10. There currently isn't a 1.11 package AFAIK.

To verify this one, would it not be sufficient to just query the rpm to see what it requires?

rpm -q --requires ipa-server gives:
krb5-server >= 1.10
krb5-server < 1.11

I ran this against:
ipa-server-3.0.0-9.el6.x86_64

Yes, that is fine too.

Thank you for the clarification.

Verified against ipa-server-3.0.0-9.el6.x86_64
