Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

this is already tracked as bug #1582821 which is in a modified state and if nothing happens, on its way to next rhel update release
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1582821 ***
"You are not authorized to access bug #1582821.
Most likely the bug has been restricted for internal development processes and we cannot grant access."
Please be aware that it's rather annoying for a bug to be closed as a duplicate of a private bug. Hopefully someone with rights to view bug 1582821 can manually update this bug as future changes are made.
I find it quite odd for a bug, which makes a package utterly useless, to only be fixed at the next update-release. Why not as a regular fix, so that all machines running 7.5 can use this package again (without custom patching/rebuild etc)
@ Andrew and Carl: I know that it's not an ideal situation, that's why I wrote what is going to happen next instead of just closing it as duplicate. Sorry, for the inconvenience.
@ Arjen: (Almost) all bug fixes are released in batches, except security and similar stuff. That is for the reason to be properly tested and deliver quality updates, which takes some time. If this bug is critical for you with a business impact, please open a support ticket through proper support channels at https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/
