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.

I'm moving this over to the anaconda team, which probably
is not correct but I know how else would make the call
on what gets installed and what does not.
Comment 2 Jiri Konecny 2018-12-18 10:41:35 UTC 
To make nfs-utils installed they need to be part of the correct comps group. These are part of the repository.

Switching to Release Engineering to fix comps if this package is missing there.

I'm pretty sure nfs-utils is install with the server
or workstation packages since it is needed by both

It is not.  I did a fresh installation of RHEL 7.6 Infrastructure Server and nfs-utils is not included by default.

The same will be true of a minimal install.  The only way it gets installed is either explicitly after the main OS install, or if the user manually selects the proper option in the list before installation begins.

Fair enough....

Is it possible to select "the proper option" in RHEL8? So would 
you know what that option is?

tia!

The file-server or network-file-system-client comps groups.  There is another bug somewhere that pertains to making some of these options more readily accessible in the GUI based installations and I suspect that will make this accessible via the gui in a more noticeable fashion.  As it stands today, the kickstart or yum group installation options are viable at a minimum.
