RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Alex Jia 2016-11-04 03:29:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
When updating atomic RPMs package by rpm -Uvh, the /etc/containers/ will be removed from RHELAH, it will cause many issues such as failure to pull images by atomic(skopeo copy).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[root@atomic-host-001 cloud-user]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host release 7.3

[root@atomic-host-001 cloud-user]# atomic host status
State: idle
Deployments:
● rhel-atomic-host:rhel-atomic-host/7/x86_64/standard
       Version: 7.3 (2016-10-26 14:24:09)
        Commit: 90c9735becfff1c55c8586ae0f2c904bc0928f042cd4d016e9e0e2edd16e5e97
        OSName: rhel-atomic-host
  GPGSignature: (unsigned)
      Unlocked: development

[root@atomic-host-001 cloud-user]# rpm -q atomic docker skopeo
atomic-1.12.5-2.el7.x86_64
docker-1.10.3-57.el7.x86_64
skopeo-0.1.14-0.6.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. deploy rhel-atomic-cloud-7.3.0-3.x86_64 image in virtual environment and start it
2. download latest skopeo and atomic PRMs packages from brew system
3. rpm -Uvh skopeo* atomic*

Actual results:

[root@atomic-host-001 cloud-user]# ls /etc/containers/
policy.json  registries.d

[root@atomic-host-001 cloud-user]# ls /etc/containers/registries.d/
default.yaml

[root@atomic-host-001 cloud-user]# rpm -Uvh skopeo-0.1.17-0.5.git1f655f3.el7.x86_64.rpm

[root@atomic-host-001 cloud-user]# ls /etc/containers/
registries.d

NOTE: the /etc/containers/policy.json file is deleted after updating skopeo,
the subsequent atomic pull(skopeo copy) will try to open the file. 
 
[root@atomic-host-001 cloud-user]# rpm -Uvh atomic-1.13.7-2.el7.x86_64.rpm

[root@atomic-host-001 cloud-user]# ls /etc/containers/
ls: cannot access /etc/containers/: No such file or directory

NOTE: the whole /etc/containers/ is deleted after updating atomic. 

Expected results:

We should fix it in 7.3.1

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2016-11-04 12:01:51 UTC 
Lokesh any idea what is causing this?
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2016-11-04 12:03:31 UTC 
Looks like skopeo-containers owns that file.
Comment 4 Antonio Murdaca 2016-11-04 12:28:54 UTC 
Yeah, skopeo-containers should be an atomic dependency now. Isn't it the case?
Comment 5 Lokesh Mandvekar 2017-01-18 18:54:33 UTC 
atomic does require skopeo-containers at build time. I'll look into it.
Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2021-01-15 07:28:16 UTC 
After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
