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.

Noriko,

Can you give more details on why this one is closed notabug?

My team saw similar on RHEL6 during ipa-server-install.  So, is that expected behavior then?  Possibly in my case triggered by something with how ipa-server-install was calling authconfig?  

We haven't seen the issue since 9/9 so it appears to have been resolved.  I'm just wondering why this one was closed.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott

It was my bad... 'ja-JP' (dash used) was typo and 'ja_JP' (underscore used) worked fine.

* This does not work as dash used.
[root@localhost ~]# LANG=ja-JP.UTF-8 authconfig
[root@localhost ~]# LANG=ja-JP.UTF-8 authconfig-tui

* This works fine as underscore used.
[root@localhost ~]# LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 authconfig
[root@localhost ~]# LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 authconfig-tui
