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.

Provide information. 
1) What RHEL7.1 tree used for this testing?
2) The machine on which this bug is produced, What was base language used in anaconda for installation?
Comment 3 Lijun Li 2015-02-16 03:01:10 UTC 
(In reply to Parag from comment #2)
> Provide information.

With latest client rc build : .../pub/rhel/rel-eng/latest-RHEL-7/compose/Client/x86_64/os/

On virtual machine and with ja_JP language for the anaconda installation.

Thanks,
Robert
Comment 4 Parag Nemade 2015-02-16 04:35:16 UTC 
I think we are assuming that the languages in which you have installed desktop are the base languages and we don't need to store information about it in /var/lib/yum/plugins/langpacks/installed_langpacks file. We even will not need to remove those langpacks is the assumption yum-langpacks is following.

Based on above information, all things reported in bug description are expected.
Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2015-02-17 05:59:31 UTC 
So apparently installed_langpacks is not populated by anaconda.
This seems slightly inconistent.

(Naively I would have expected langlist to list the langs that have langpacks installed, or default lang used by yum-langpacks.)

Lijun: if this is not a regression, I think we can move this to 7.2.

I think yes we can move it to 7.2.

Comment 8 Parag Nemade 2015-02-24 13:52:33 UTC 
I am still not convinced for adding base languages in installed_langpacks but maybe I will visit this again sometime later when we start next development cycle.

For now proposing langlist command fix that will make sure installed_langpacks file exist on the system else print "No langpacks installed".

As per Comment 4, with yum-langpacks-0.4.2-7.el7.noarch:
- 'yum langinstall <LANG>' works as expected
- 'yum langlist' would only work if '/var/lib/yum/plugins/langpacks/installed_langpacks' file exist, else 'No langpacks installed' would be visible on the console as notified in Comment 7 and Comment 8
