Hi,

We are failing to deploy hosts in upgrade suites on both master and 4.2 for project ovirt-vmconsole.

it seems we are missing packages for selinux-policy.

Root cause identified by CQ as: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/97704/ - spec: clean up and reorganize

can you please take a look at this issue?

Sandro requested a bug so I opened one:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1677630

Yep, I replied https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1677630#c2

more discussion follows:

Thanks,

It seems to me this is happening in CentOS. So:

The patch https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/97704/ *wants* to use this spec file macro
%{?selinux_requires}

This macro automatically set the right dependency for the platform on which the package is being built.

From the error above, we can see that the host on which the package, built from master, is going to be installed does *not* have that right package.

However, on a test box of mine:

1005 15:07:43 root@kenji:~ $ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) 
1006 15:07:49 root@kenji:~ $ rpm -qa | grep selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.13.1-229.el7_6.9.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-229.el7_6.9.noarch
selinux-policy-devel-3.13.1-229.el7_6.6.noarch

1010 15:08:50 root@kenji:~ $ rpm -q --provides selinux-policy
config(selinux-policy) = 3.13.1-229.el7_6.9
selinux-policy = 3.13.1-229.el7_6.9
1011 15:08:52 root@kenji:~ $ rpm -q --provides selinux-policy-targeted
config(selinux-policy-targeted) = 3.13.1-229.el7_6.9
selinux-policy-base = 3.13.1-229.el7_6.9
selinux-policy-targeted = 3.13.1-229.el7_6.9

so it seems that the package was built on up-to-date host, while is being installed in a host outdated.

For this issue there is no action needed besides making sure that the installation host is up to date.

Please note, however, that ovirt-vmconsole >= 1.0.7 should be installed in CentOS/RHEL >= 7.6

If needed, I think it could work in 7.4/7.5 too, but we will need a rebuild of the package and some testing.

Last thing, question: do we need a package build on Fedora? I tested the el7 packages, they work fine in F29.

Bests,
