Comment 1 Chris Feist 2021-07-06 14:47:26 UTC

python3-pexpect is being dropped by the RHEL HA team in RHEL 9 and will not be shipped (unless another group picks it up).

Comment 2 zhoujunqin 2021-07-07 02:33:13 UTC

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your response.
But I still have some doubts about this package.

Q1:
> python3-pexpect is being dropped by the RHEL HA team in RHEL 9 and will not
> be shipped (unless another group picks it up).

Do you mean the status of the package 'python3-pexpect' on this page[1]?

Q2:
I found this package existing in brewweb[2] with Tags - 
rhel-9.0.0-beta-candidate
rhel-9.0.0-beta-pending

In general, it means the package will be included by RHEL-9 compose, right?

Q3:
Is there any other rpm package that replace the function of package python3-pexpect?

Waiting for your feedback, thanks.

I *think* because it says "Content Resolver" no it means it will be eventually removed.

It will eventually be removed as soon as rel-eng catches up on their backlog.

No.
