Downgrade Stream Conflict Error Messages

WARNING:

Oracle Linux 7 is now in Extended Support. See Oracle Linux Extended Support and Oracle Open Source Support Policies for more information.

Migrate applications and data to Oracle Linux 8 or Oracle Linux 9 as soon as possible.

Known Issue: Package conflict errors appear when downgrading virt:kvm_utils2 to a previous application stream version.

Description:

Beginning with version 20744+e9607200 of the virt:kvm_utils2 application stream, new packages were added. If you try to downgrade to a previous version of the virt:kvm_utils2 application stream that does not contain the additional packages, the downgrade process fails with several package conflict error messages. This issue is the result of a limitation in DNF for handling dependencies in application streams.

Workaround:

To resolve this issue, you must remove the existing packages, reset the virt:kvm_utils2 application stream, enable the older version of the virt:kvm_utils2 application stream and then reinstall the packages. See Switch Default Stack to Oracle KVM Stack for steps to remove existing packages, resetting the application stream and then installing packages.
