Environment

Micro Focus Kanaka for Mac 3.0.1
Open Enterprise Server 2018 (OES 2018) Linux
Open Enterprise Server 2015 (OES 2015) Linux

Situation

Dependency error upgrading to Kanaka 3.0.1
Error: Failed dependencies: novell-kanaka-engine is needed by (installed) supportutils-plugin-kanaka-1.0-1.noarch

Resolution

supportutils-plugin-kanaka is a plugin for supportconfig to gather additional information for Kanaka.  This rpm has a dependency for novell-kanaka-engine.  The rpm for Kanaka 3.0.1 has been changed to microfocus-kanaka-engine, so the upgrade causes a dependency issue for supportutils-plugin-kanaka.
 
Option 1)  Remove supportutils-plugin-kanaka
Option 2)  Break supportutils-plugin-kanaka, which should leave it installed without the dependency, though the plugin files will still be in the correct location and usable by supportconfig.
