What were you trying to do that didn't work?
When a customer versionlocks a single package such as systemd, the other packages are not included. When an update is performed dnf reports that it was trying to remove systemd instead of correctly reporting that it was excluded due to versionlocking.
Steps to reproduce
- Verify there is an available update for systemd
- yum versionlock add systemd
- yum update
Expected results
I would want to see the normal dependency errors indicating the package is either excluded or version locked.
[root@r9 ~]# yum update --exclude=systemd |& grep Problem Problem 1: package systemd-container-252-51.el9_6.2.x86_64 from rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms requires systemd(x86-64) = 252-51.el9_6.2, but none of the providers can be installed Problem 2: package systemd-udev-252-51.el9_6.2.x86_64 from rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms requires systemd(x86-64) = 252-51.el9_6.2, but none of the providers can be installed Problem 3: package systemd-pam-252-51.el9_6.2.x86_64 from rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms requires systemd = 252-51.el9_6.2, but none of the providers can be installed Problem 4: systemd-libs-252-51.el9_6.1.i686 from rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms does not belong to a distupgrade repository Problem 5: package systemd-252-51.el9_6.1.x86_64 from @System requires systemd-rpm-macros = 252-51.el9_6.1, but none of the providers can be installed
Actual results
[root@r9 ~]# rpm -q systemd systemd-252-51.el9_6.1.x86_64 [root@r9 ~]# yum versionlock add systemd Adding versionlock on: systemd-0:252-51.el9_6.1.* [root@r9 ~]# yum update Error: Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
Additional Note:
This issue is not present in RHEL 10. RHEL 10 reports back with can't update sytemd-<blah> because systemd is excluded.
