Comment 7 Eirik Fuller 2021-01-17 16:53:26 UTC
https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/4994717 has two recipes, one with powerpc-utils-1.3.6-12.el8_3 and one with powerpc-utils-1.3.6-11.el8.

Each recipe ran 'bootlist --help' after removing the perl-interpreter package. The powerpc-utils-1.3.6-12.el8_3 recipe succeeded, and the powerpc-utils-1.3.6-11.el8 recipe failed (bootlist: command not found), as expected.

Each recipe also lists the contents of both powerpc-utils and powerpc-utils-core (before removing perl-interpreter). The powerpc-utils-1.3.6-12.el8_3 recipe lists considerably fewer files in powerpc-utils, as follows.

/usr/sbin/hvcsadmin
/usr/sbin/rtas_dump
/usr/share/doc/powerpc-utils
/usr/share/doc/powerpc-utils/Changelog
/usr/share/doc/powerpc-utils/README
/usr/share/man/man8/hvcsadmin.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/rtas_dump.8.gz

As exptected /usr/sbin/bootlist is included in the powerpc-utils-core listing in the powerpc-utils-1.3.6-12.el8_3 recipe but not in the powerpc-utils-1.3.6-11.el8 recipe (where it is included in the powerpc-utils listing).

Moving to VERIFIED based on these results.
