This is not correct. The issue is trying to use Alma 8’s mock chroot on a CentOS 7 host. The (older) versions of yum and rpm there don’t support subkeys.
There is a Red Hat BZ issue here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2017069 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2017069
- josephcsible 4y agoDo RHEL/Rocky/CentOS Stream 8's mock chroots work on CentOS 7 hosts? If so, then this does seem like a legitimate binary incompatibility.
- mroche 4y agoThat is not what binary compatibility means when talking about RHEL. It refers to the actual package ABIs and the compatibility levels we assign them: https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-abi-compatibility https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-abi-compatibility https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel8-abi-compatibility https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel8-abi-compatibility https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel9-abi-compatibility https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel9-abi-compatibility This would be closer to a bug-for-bug compatibility issue, as a result of an implementation change on the infra side of things. It's not due to the OS which is bug-for-bug compatible with its origin, RHEL 8. While it would be nice if EL7 stacks are considered by the rebuild distributions, it's not a requirement and they are free to use features supported by the platforms they're building.
