RHEL 7.6 updates Xorg abi

Description (last modified by Antoine Martin)

RHEL 7.6 has upgraded xorg, which has change the abi version. Xpra can no longer be upgraded and therefore breaks RHEL updates.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

When centos 7.6 becomes available, we will be able to rebuild the dummy driver for the new ABI.
Until then, you can remove xpra and its repository, do the upgrade then re-add the xpra repository and update with --skip-broken - that should work (untested).
You may then experience DPI issues with some applications until the update dummy driver is posted.

Great, thanks. I have noticed that the RHEL7 docker images contain full REPOs that enable yum upgrades. This allows testing against RHEL without a subscription (dev subs are free these days as well).

Thanks for you help!

comment:3 Changed 20 months ago by Chris Schultz

This is a Dockerfile image that I use to build some RHEL7 rpms, this could be helpful for you to build in a sandbox.

Well now I know why it works for me (and not on my Ubuntu box):

​https://github.com/projectatomic/docker/tree/docker-1.13.1-rhel#add-rhel-super-secrets-patchpatch

I have changed the Dockerfile to use Oracle Linux 7.6, which is a compatible with RHEL/Centos.

That's better, just needed this workaround for SELinux on Fedora: ​chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t host_dir.

Sigh, sorry. This is missing from OL7, but is in OL6.

I'll see if I can find another way that is more useful...

comment:9 Changed 20 months ago by Chris Schultz

Turns out OEL7 has a bunch of stuff in the optional repos. I have updated the Dockerfile to enable these repos.

Better but then I hit this error: ​Only dest dir longer than base dir not supported.

Fixed by using /usr/src/redhat instead of /build:

comment:11 Changed 20 months ago by Antoine Martin

I've cloned the "7.5" repo as "7.6", and added the freshly built xorg-x11-drv-dummy and a few others there.
I will rebuild all the packages eventually (no rush).

@cjschultz: I can't test since I don't have a test 7.6 VM yet, please close this ticket if the repository now updates correctly for you.

Hi.

Still getting the upgrade issue, I hardwired in the repo just to be sure.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Got it: the old build system used el7_5 for the dist value but the new one uses just el7. So the newly built package doesn't upgrade the old one. (el7 < el7_5 according to string version compare)

r21004 bumps the release no which should take care of the upgrade path.
(I still prefer el7_6 as "dist" value, so I will have to look into tweaking the buildbot: ticket:2040#comment:1)

yum update should fetch it now.
