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:

linux-firmware-20170606-58.gitc990aae.el7_4 adds some code to put the Spectre rollback readme file on the target device. This introduces the "cat" command to the %post scripts. This command is part of the "coreutils" package, but this package was not added on the (missing) "Requires:" line of the .spec file. On fresh install with an .iso built with this version of the linux-firmware package, a warning is generated and the package install is marked as a failure.

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

20170606-58.gitc990aae.el7_4

* How to reproduce:

Add linux-firmware-20170606-58.gitc990aae.el7_4.noarch.rpm to a 7.4 .iso image (replacing the stock version), then perform an install (I'm using a kickstart file). Check the anaconda logs (packaging.log) for the warning.

* Actual results:

warning in packaging.log:

02:52:40,898 INFO packaging: linux-firmware-20170606-58.gitc990aae.el7_4.noarch (226/591)

02:52:40,898 INFO packaging: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.mzWjsZ: line 9: cat: command not found

02:52:40,898 INFO packaging: warning: %post(linux-firmware-20170606-58.gitc990aae.el7_4.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 127


* Expected results:

No warnings.

Hi Gregory,

thanks for the report! The issue was already solved on -61 release of linux-firmware on behalf of another bug. Because of that this BZ is being closed as CURRENTRELEASE.

Thanks!
