Issue

  • Updating to RHEL 7.5 produces "Package witheld" due to exiv2-libs
  • I have a third-party RPM installed which is linked against libexiv2 (exiv2-libs). When trying to do a yum upgrade towards the 7.5 package set, I am greeted with the following error:
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: *witheld* (installed)
           Requires: libexiv2.so.12()(64bit)
           Removing: exiv2-libs-0.23-6.el7.x86_64 (@rhel-7-server-rpms)
               libexiv2.so.12()(64bit)
           Updated By: exiv2-libs-0.26-3.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms)

  • Same issue is seen with geeqie from nux-dextop repository

Environment

  • Package which depends on exiv2-libs such as gnome-classic-session or geeqie
  • exiv2-libs-0.23-6.el7 package providing libexiv2.so.12
