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 Product Errata RHBA-2016:0819 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE sos bug fix and enhancement update 2016-05-10 22:39:56 UTC

Description Imogen Flood-Murphy 2015-09-30 15:59:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
when using installed-rpms to check which packages are installed there is too much information in it for your average frontline engineer, I would like to propose that installed-rpms go back to the previous format, and the extra data that is now included be put in a seperate file 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.2

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. request sosreport from a customer running sos-3.2 or later
2. check installed-rpms
3. get TMI and it is not human readable

Actual results:

output similar to for each package in installed-rpms:

zlib-1.2.3-29.el6.x86_64                                    Mon Jun 29 17:57:22 2015	1435593442	Red Hat, Inc.	x86-022.build.eng.bos.redhat.com	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	RSA/8, Tue Nov 27 10:58:54 2012, Key ID 199e2f91fd431d51

Expected results:
in installed-rpms the following information:

zlib-1.2.3-29.el6.x86_64                                    Tue May  6 11:51:53 2014

and everything else somewhere else. Or a new file that contains just the package name and installation date if moving the pgp key and extra data elsewhere is not feasible

Comment 2 masanari iida 2015-12-10 02:53:04 UTC 
I am from a customer support.
I use sosreport every time my customer open a call.
Latest output format gives me pain.
I prefer to use "rpm -qa --last" type of output, 
because I can find any latest changes from the list.
I don't prefer to use "sort by package name" list.

I know that latest format (with build time) may useful
to find out if the customer uses RHEL binary or CentOS binary.
(Now a day RPM package name doesn't tell the difference.)
But I seldom face such a situation.
So my suggestion is, make it simple output for default,
and keep value-added output as optional.

Test with sos-3.2.39.el6.noarch.rpm from RHEL6.8 alpha-1,
the soscommand/rpm/sh_-nodigsest_-qa_--qf_NAME.......(snip)...sort_-f 

Output example
abrt-2.0.8-34.el6.x86_64                                    Tue Mar  1 23:44:15 2016

I installed the sos RPM into RHEL6.7 system, 
so the list of RPM files in "Output example" are from RHEL6.7. 
Thanks!
