Dhcp-server upgrade bug

I seem to have this issue in rockylinux.
It is actually preventing me to migrate from centos 8 to rockylinux

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2047786

According to bugzilla it was not present in redhat 8 and is corrected in Centos8 stream.

Could it be corrected in rockylinux?
(I could try to install the rpm from the centos 8 stream, but I am afraid that will only get me further in trouble)

Workarounds are welcome.

Thanks,

Joost

As noted on your bug report here we cannot reproduce your issue and it appears as though packages and/or repositories have been mixed on your system.

[root@router ~]# rpm -q dhcp-client bind-export-libs
dhcp-client-4.3.6-45.el8.x86_64
bind-export-libs-9.11.26-6.el8.x86_64
[root@router ~]# rpm -q bind-export-libs-9.11.26-6.el8.x86_64 --provides
bind-export-libs = 32:9.11.26-6.el8
bind-export-libs(x86-64) = 32:9.11.26-6.el8
config(bind-export-libs) = 32:9.11.26-6.el8

libirs-export.so.161()(64bit)
libisc-export.so.1107()(64bit)
libisccfg-export.so.163()(64bit)

The current versions for 8.5:

[root@router ~]# repoquery -q dhcp-client
dhcp-client-12:4.3.6-45.el8.x86_64
[root@router ~]# repoquery -q bind
bind-32:9.11.26-6.el8.x86_64

The upcoming versions for 8.6 (not yet released):

dhcp-4.3.6-47.el8 and bind-9.11.36-3.el8

Thank you for your reply.

Apparently the conversion from centos8 must have failed.

(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)

I would backup the config for the service(s) and then remove all the offending packages (unless that means wiping the entire system). Then do ā€œfresh (re)install of the serviceā€. That is how I got some CentOS point updates through.

Who does exclude the ā€˜bind-export-libsā€™?

Thanks for advice.
I donā€™t know how the exclude got in there

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it was key to the solution:
A colleague had introduced

exclude=bind-*

in /etc/yum/yum.conf because of a previous bind update that happened with the automatic updates and went wrong.

To be safe & sure (minimize possible downtim), I made a clone and continued on that clone with another IP.

first test if conversion to centos was possible:

 wget  http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-stream-release-8.5-3.el8.noarch.rpm

rpm -ivh --nodeps ./centos-stream-release-8.5-3.el8.noarch.rpm
dnf swap centos-linux-repos centos-stream-repos
yum update
yum clean all
yum update --allowerasing --nobest
yum install bind-export-libs-32:9.11.26-6.el8.x86_64
yum update --allowerasing --nobest

then did the migration to rockylinux and it works fine, no issues found after a week.

yum install git
 cd /tmp; git clone https://github.com/rocky-linux/rocky-tools.git
cd /tmp/rocky-tools/migrate2rocky; chmod +x migrate2rocky.sh
 ./migrate2rocky.sh
 ./migrate2rocky.sh -V
 ./migrate2rocky.sh -r
  yum update --allowerasing --nobest
 dnf update
