Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Please make the following cleanup in nss.spec for RHEL 7.2
nss.spec contains the script pasted at the end of this comment.
I suggest to remove it, it was never necessary on RHEL 7, and is harmless.
%posttrans
# An earlier version of this package had an incorrect %%postun script (3.14.3-9).
# (The incorrect %%postun always called "update-alternatives --remove",
# because it incorrectly assumed that test -f returns false for symbolic links.)
# The only possible remedy to fix the mistake that "always removes on upgrade"
# made by the older %%postun script, is to repair it in %%posttrans of the new package.
# Strategy:
# %%posttrans is never called when uninstalling.
# %%posttrans is only called when installing or upgrading a package.
# Because %%posttrans is the very last action of a package install,
# %%{_libdir}/libnssckbi.so must exist.
# If it does not, it's the result of the incorrect removal from a broken %%postun.
# In this case, we repeat installation of the alternatives link.
if ! test -e %{_libdir}/libnssckbi.so; then
%{_sbindir}/update-alternatives --install %{_libdir}/libnssckbi.so \
%{alt_ckbi} %{_libdir}/nss/libnssckbi.so 10
