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:
It seems that ipa has an explicit Requires on subscription-manager.

According to the upstream ticket https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4783 this is not required for RHEL7

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ipa-3.3.3-28.el7_0.3


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1.review ipa.spec, locate Requires: subscription-manager
2.note upstream has removed the requirement
3.

Actual results:
ipa has an explicit Requires on subscription-manager.

Expected results:
no requirement on subscription-manager.

Additional info:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/freeipa.git/commit/freeipa.spec.in?id=4b367bc9a732cd2ab5faf5206aa577e6a33a2f59

Apparently my claim in the upstream ticket that it is gone in downstream RHEL 7 builds was not correct -- it was removed in RHEL 6 but got back during rebase to 3.2.0.

Yes, unfortunately. I still believe this is a minor issue as subscription-manager is in default RHEL installation, AFAIK. (Still, +1 for removing it from RHEL-7.x)
