            Bug ID: 1403868
           Summary: Error: Package:
                    perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma-2.061-1.el7.x86_64 (@epel)
                    Requires: xz-libs(x86-64) = 5.1.2
           Product: Fedora EPEL
           Version: epel7
         Component: perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma
          Severity: urgent
          Assignee: paul(a)city-fan.org

Description of problem:
Error: Package: perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma-2.061-1.el7.x86_64 (@epel)
           Requires: xz-libs(x86-64) = 5.1.2
           Removing: xz-libs-5.1.2-12alpha.el7.x86_64 (@base)
               xz-libs(x86-64) = 5.1.2-12alpha.el7
           Updated By: xz-libs-5.2.2-1.el7.x86_64 (base)
               xz-libs(x86-64) = 5.2.2-1.el7

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma-2.061-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. N/A

Actual results:
N/A

Expected results:
N/A

Additional info:
I wonder if it was really necessary to make the requirement:

xz-libs(x86-64) = 5.1.2

rather than

xz-libs(x86-64) >= 5.1.2

In any case, this is preventing upgrades to EL7.3 so even a push of a new
package with the above slightly altered requirement would be useful I think.

Thanks for the heads-up about this.

This is necessary because the module embeds the xz version it was compiled
against and compares with the xz version at runtime, and croaks with a version
mismatch if they're not the same.

Please test and give karma to the update.

Cheers.

Oh, pity.  Does it really need to be that rigid though?  Why is it so specific
abot the version?

>  Please test and give karma to the update. 
I wish I could.  The captcha is completely illegible though.  See attached.

illegible captcha

These captchas are really getting out of hand with how illegible they are being
made.

Wow, as a Fedora packager that can sign in using my FAS account, I never get to
see those, thank goodness!

I think upstream have had problems where people have updated the underlying
libraries without rebuilding the modules, and this sometimes leads to obscure
and hard to diagnose problems. So they (upstream) added this check to make it
obvious when this had happened, even if it's not always a problem. The strict
package version dependency ensures that as a downstream RPM user, you see this
prior to installing an update that would break things, and have the option to
skip the affected updates, uninstall a package, report a bug (as this time) or
whatever fits your needs.

perl-Fsdb-2.62-1.el7 is blocked on this issue, so I'm looking forward to seeing
perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma updated in el7

Test the update, give it karma and it'll get pushed to stable sooner.
