Description Justin M. Forbes 2019-07-26 17:52:16 UTC 
Firewalld has a dependency on kernel.  This is understandable, but the kernel is no longer being built for i686 on F31 and newer. While I would recommend dropping the arch for firewalld on those releases as well, I suppose you could also drop the kernel Require.

How do I drop the arch?
Comment 2 Kaleb KEITHLEY 2019-07-31 16:58:25 UTC 
Is it not sufficient to drop the "Requires: kernel ..." for i686 ?

Otherwise dropping the arch in firewalld just moves the problem, doesn't it? If you do that then in glusterfs I will have to drop the "Requires: firewalld" (which is probably not correct) or drop the arch as well.
Comment 3 Jason Tibbitts 2019-07-31 19:45:36 UTC 
Why does firewalld require the kernel?  And why does it require a specific version of it?  It came in with commit cb592bb "rebase to v0.6.0" about a year ago, but I don't see why it was added.

If the idea is to ensure that the kernel be of at least a certain version, then even a simple Conflicts: kernel < 4.18.0 would suffice. It's possible that "Requires: (kernel >= 4.18.0 if kernel)" would also work if you really want to avoid Conflicts:, though I haven't tested it.  Or just drop the dependency in rawhide because, you know, the current F31 incarnation of rawhide hasn't ever had a kernel that old. That goes for F30 as well, though not F29 as it had 4.16 prereleases early in its cycle.

v0.6.0 was dependent on features/fixes in the 4.18.0 kernel. At the time we were just after the transition to the 4.18 kernel.

I will drop the Requires in rawhide an f30.
