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.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-03-06 18:18:11 UTC 
This was done in order to fix detection of aarch64 binaries,
which was added to 'file-5.11-22' (bug 1067688).

So it is a real requirement, assuming you care about aarch64
binary detection (I believe there is a test for this in the
test suite, which will probably fail if you relax this BR).

The underlying problem is we didn't actually release an updated
'file' command in RHEL 7.1, even though the bug was fully ACKed.

Therefore setting bug 1067688 as a dependency, and I will add a
note to that bug.
Comment 3 Johnny Hughes 2015-03-12 19:13:55 UTC 
For people who need to build the libguestfs SRPM and there is a version of 'file-5.11-22' on git.centos.org that will work and pass the build test:

https://git.centos.org/summary/rpms!file

Check out the c7-ppc64le branch for the sources.
Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-07-08 21:18:08 UTC 
This is fixed already in RHEL 7.2.  In the meantime you can grab the
required file RPM and SRPM from here:

https://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.2-preview/

Although this isn't really a libguestfs bug as such, I'm adding
this to the libguestfs erratum.
Comment 8 Hu Zhang 2015-09-11 09:07:20 UTC 
Verified with the compose:
RHEL-7.2-20150904.0

Verify step:
1. yum info file-devel
Loaded plugins: langpacks
Available Packages
Name        : file-devel
Arch        : i686
Version     : 5.11
Release     : 30.el7
Size        : 32 k
Repo        : RHEL-7-optional
Summary     : Libraries and header files for file development
URL         : http://www.darwinsys.com/file/

Description : The file-devel package contains the header files and libmagic library
            : necessary for developing programs using libmagic.

Name        : file-devel
Arch        : x86_64

So the requirement is satisfied. And the tps jobs http://nest.test.redhat.com/mnt/qa/scratch/apm-mustang-ev3-15/2015:20308/tps/tps.html is passed. So verified.
