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:
I think wwan module w/o MM is useless. Please add MM as dependency.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
usb_modeswitch-1.2.7-6.el7.x86_64
ModemManager-1.1.0-8.git20130913.el7.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.2.0-1.el7.x86_64el7.x86_64
NetworkManager-wwan has no "Requires: ModemManager"
NetworkManager-bluetooth has no "Requires: bluez"
That is intentional, due to bug 1166325, which had the change:
-Requires: ModemManager
+# No Requires:ModemManager to prevent it being installed when updating
+# to the split NM package
I'd like to close this as WONTFIX.
Fixing it would disagree with the reasoning of why it was done this way in the first place (bug 1166325). But maybe the original reasoning is no longer valid... what do you think?
IRC:
<lrintel> looking at the comps.xml; seems like dial-up (that includes MM) is in system, graphical server, GNOME and KDE groups. I guess that means the workstation already includes MM?
<lrintel> then we don't want it by default?
<thaller> you suggest to close this bug as WONTFIX? (I don't disagree with that)
<lrintel> yes; i'd wontfix it. i actually initially asked vbenes to open the bug, but i was not aware that the dependency is missing on purpose
<lrintel> and the scenario where we hit this was really a minimal beaker install; not an actual workstation install
Therefore, closing. Please reopen if somebody disagrees.
