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.

Red Hat Bugzilla 1162175 1 unspecified CLOSED ipmitool: -1.8.11-ipv6env.patch modifies patch backup files and adds dependency 2023-09-14 02:50:29 UTC
Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2016:0771 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE ipmitool bug fix and enhancement update 2016-05-10 22:34:37 UTC

Description Thomas Gardner 2015-09-10 20:11:02 UTC
Description of problem:
ipmitool gained a dependency on the OpenIPMI package.  This causes a flood of new, unneeded packages on some systems.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Additional info:
This was supposed to have been fixed with BZ#1162175, but, well, wasn't.  Really, this is a one line change in the .spec file to remove this dependency.

Comment 2 Thomas Gardner 2015-09-14 09:28:12 UTC
Apparently, the developer assigned to this case is out on sick leave.  I'm guessing this assignment was made automatically.  Would someone please assign a different developer?
