So, the reason this failed tests is a bit unique. They're failing on a sanity check in the openQA tests: it checks whether the test actually has a newer version of the package installed than is present in the update under test, and if so, it flags that as a problem. Usually what that means is that, somehow, a newer package already got pushed stable, and pushing the update-under-test stable would move the package backwards, but that's not how it is in this case.

In this case, the openQA server base image is actually hacked up to use a grub2 build from a side repo (https://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/grubxfs-repo/ ), which I rather arbitrarily versioned grub2-2.06-118.fc39. So it's higher-versioned than the one in this update, so it triggers the failure.

The reason why I'm doing that is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2259266 (which current affects F39). If I let the openQA server base image use the current stable grub2 package, it doesn't boot because of that bug.

So...it would make things much easier if this update fixed that bug, is what I'm saying. :P Otherwise I'll have to do a hack like disabling the check just for this update so it can go through.

I thought that bug was supposed to be getting fixed last week; what's the current status, @nfrayer ?

@nfrayer said he would add a fix for the XFS issue, but I don't see it yet.

Given that this is a security fix and doesn't make things worse than they are at present, let's waive the failures and get it pushed stable.

OK, the "XFS-/boot-always-fails-on-BIOS" bug should be fixed with -118, nfrayer put the patch back. This does mean the bug it was intended to cause (which breaks boot for a different, less common set of circumstances) is back.

As @adamwill metioned, this update reintroduced an issue that was fixed by removing one of the XFS patch. A fix is being reviewed upstream and will be merged in Fedora as soon as it'll accepted.
