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:

sosreport's qpid plugin attempts to collect the output of the following monster command:

$ sosreport -o qpid --batch -v
...
[plugin:qpid] added cmd output 'qpid-config exchangesqpid-config queuesqpid-config exchanges -b'
...
[plugin:qpid] collecting output of 'qpid-config exchangesqpid-config queuesqpid-config exchanges -b'
...

This is due to missing commas at the end of the lines containing "qpid-config exchanges" and "qpid-config queues" in the plugin code:

        self.add_cmd_output([
            ...
            "qpid-stat -m",  # applies since 0.18 version
            "qpid-config exchanges"
            "qpid-config queues"
            "qpid-config exchanges -b",  # applies to pre-0.18 versions
            ...
        ])

Without the commas, Python's string literal concatenation feature [0] is applied to the strings, merging them into a single one.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-3.2-15.el7_1.8.noarch

[0] https://docs.python.org/2/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-literal-concatenation

Fixed in upstream recently: https://github.com/sosreport/sos/commit/5e02bb46cc1cddf7ccba27ff05a8702e806ad30d

This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions

For QE:

if you would like to have a real system with qpid-cpp package installed (so you dont need to mock the commands), let me know. I know qpid-cpp very well and can prepare a system in a short time.
