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:
After a fresh install, the rpm -V openvswitch report errors.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q openvswitch 
openvswitch-2.9.0-81.el7fdp.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install openvswitch for the first time.
2. Start the service
3. run 'rpm -V openvswitch'

Actual results:
# rpm -V openvswitch
.....UG..  c /etc/openvswitch/system-id.conf


Expected results:
No output, all files are okay.

Additional info:
RPM is expecting the file to be owned by openvswitch.openvswitch:
# rpm -qlv openvswitch | grep system-id.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 openvswiopenvswi 0 Nov 9 13:20 /etc/openvswitch/system-id.conf


But in this case it is owned by root.root:
# ls -la /etc/openvswitch/system-id.conf 
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 37 Nov 20 13:46 /etc/openvswitch/system-id.conf


and the service runs as openvswitch user:
[root@localhost tmp]# ps -q `pidof ovs-vswitchd` -Ao user,group 
USER     GROUP
openvsw+ hugetlbfs
[root@localhost tmp]# ps -q `pidof ovsdb-server` -Ao user,group 
USER     GROUP
openvsw+ hugetlbfs


# id openvswitch 
uid=996(openvswitch) gid=993(openvswitch) groups=993(openvswitch),1000(hugetlbfs)

[root@netqe30 ~]# rpm -q openvswitch
openvswitch-2.9.0-95.el7fdp.x86_64
[root@netqe30 ~]# rpm -V openvswitch
[root@netqe30 ~]# systemctl start openvswitch
[root@netqe30 ~]# rpm -V openvswitch
[root@netqe30 ~]# ovs-vsctl show
5040f63d-5d41-4a8f-961c-41c90a330810
    ovs_version: "2.9.0"
