Description

The mariadb-connector-c-devel package from the standard RHEL 8 repo conflicts with MariaDB's packages. e.g.:

# dnf  -y  update ;

Last metadata expiration check: 0:04:17 ago on Tue 18 Aug 2020 02:03:54 PM EDT.

Error:

 Problem: package mariadb-connector-c-devel-3.0.7-1.el8.x86_64 requires mariadb-connector-c = 3.0.7-1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed

  - package MariaDB-shared-10.5.5-1.el8.x86_64 obsoletes mariadb-connector-c provided by mariadb-connector-c-3.0.7-1.el8.x86_64

  - package MariaDB-shared-10.5.5-1.el8.x86_64 obsoletes mariadb-connector-c provided by mariadb-connector-c-3.0.7-1.el8.i686

  - cannot install the best update candidate for package mariadb-connector-c-devel-3.0.7-1.el8.x86_64

  - cannot install the best update candidate for package mariadb-connector-c-3.0.7-1.el8.x86_64

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

This was first reported here:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/odd-mariadb-connector-c-error-on-update/

As far as I can tell, it looks like the problem is that our MariaDB-devel package should take precedence over the mariadb-connector-c-devel package from the standard RHEL 8 repo, but it currently doesn't.

We solved a similar problem for the MariaDB-devel package by making mariadb-connector-c an "alternative name" for the MariaDB-devel package:

ELSEIF(RPM MATCHES "(rhel|centos)8")

...

  ALTERNATIVE_NAME("shared" "mariadb-connector-c" ${MARIADB_CONNECTOR_C_VERSION}-1)

  ALTERNATIVE_NAME("shared" "mariadb-connector-c-config" ${MARIADB_CONNECTOR_C_VERSION}-1)

...

ENDIF()

https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/mariadb-10.5.5/cmake/cpack_rpm.cmake#L238

I suspect that we need a similar rule to add mariadb-connector-c-devel as an alternative name for the MariaDB-devel package.

Hi edwardsmarkf,

I had to work around the problem like this:

1.) Check installed packages:

$ sudo rpm -qa | grep -i mariadb

mariadb-connector-c-devel-3.0.7-1.el8.x86_64

mariadb-connector-c-3.0.7-1.el8.x86_64

mariadb-connector-c-config-3.0.7-1.el8.noarch

2.) Try to install the MariaDB Connector/C packages from MariaDB's repo, and it fails:

$ sudo yum install MariaDB-shared MariaDB-devel

Last metadata expiration check: 0:13:18 ago on Wed 19 Aug 2020 07:06:45 PM UTC.

Error:

 Problem: problem with installed package mariadb-connector-c-devel-3.0.7-1.el8.x86_64

  - package mariadb-connector-c-devel-3.0.7-1.el8.x86_64 requires mariadb-connector-c = 3.0.7-1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed

  - conflicting requests

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

3.) Remove the 3 mariadb-connector-c* packages from the standard RHEL/CentOS 8 repo:

$ sudo yum remove mariadb-connector-c mariadb-connector-c-config mariadb-connector-c-devel

4.) Try again to install the MariaDB Connector/C packages from MariaDB's repo, and it succeeds this time:

$ sudo yum install MariaDB-shared MariaDB-devel

Hi edwardsmarkf,

That's odd. I don't know why that error would occur for you, but it wouldn't occur for me. Did you recently configure your MariaDB repository, or has it been configured for a while? If your repository configuration is too old, then I wonder if you could be hitting ~~MDEV-20673~~, which was fixed by changing our mariadb_repo_setup script a while ago.

If that is your problem, then it may help to run the mariadb_repo_setup script to reconfigure your repository, as explained here: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-package-repository-setup-and-usage/

e.g.:

curl -LsS https://downloads.mariadb.com/MariaDB/mariadb_repo_setup |

    sudo bash -s -- --mariadb-server-version="mariadb-10.5"

the best way is to set alternative name for devel package, to do not create more provides:
