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 of problem:

libipq library is deprecated and the associated kernel modules are absent from the latest kernel versions. The replacement for libipq is libnetfilter. However, in order to use libnetfilter you need (i) libnetfilter-queue and (ii) the associated development package (with headers etc). These two packages are missing from Redhat, which renders the software depending on libnetfilter broken on Redhat. The two libraries are included in Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora.

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

All releases, including the latest 6.4

How reproducible:

Try to install libnetfilter queue and the development package in Redhat. N/A.

Additional info:

The package seems to be installable from here, but I don't think it's available in the official Redhat:

ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/security%3A/netfilter/RHEL_6/i686/libnetfilter_queue1-1.0.2-34.1.i686.rpm
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/security%3A/netfilter/RHEL_6/x86_64/libnetfilter_queue-devel-1.0.2-34.1.x86_64.rpm

Can I change this bug request to target the next release or how should proceed with this?
