Description jcastran 2020-10-28 13:12:29 UTC
Description of problem:
The RHEL 8 stig profile excludes the abrt package. If you select the @debugging group in the Package Selection, this includes python3-abrt-addon, which requires abrt.

Because abrt is excluded, the installation halts because python3-abrt-addon can't be installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
8.2

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Apply STIG
2. Select "Debugging Tools"
3. Continue with the installation

Actual results:
Installation stops with:

  python3-abrt-addon requires abrt but none of the providers can be installed.
   - package abrt is filtered out by exclude filtering


Expected results:
A security profile should gracefully exclude the packages. Either 
 - allow them to be installed if they are a dependency or specifically included.
 - Apply --skip-broken so the excluded package can be worked around

Additional info:
This has occurred similarly with OSPP and the GUI https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1787156
