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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.
Description of problem:
When attempting to have the anaconda Software Selection spoke display an "Add-on" for an environment selected by default (checked in the GUI), we ran into an issue where dnf/libcomps doesn't appear to return the right value for such a group.
anaconda is using the base dnf class to see if groups are set to default. In a test compose, we have the headless-management group defined as:
<group>
<id>headless-management</id>
<name>Headless Management</name>
<description> Tools for managing the system without an attached graphical console.
</description>
<default>true</default>
<uservisible>true</uservisible>
<packagelist>
<packagereq type="mandatory">cockpit-bridge</packagereq>
<packagereq type="mandatory">cockpit-system</packagereq>
<packagereq type="mandatory">cockpit-ws</packagereq>
<packagereq type="mandatory">openssh-server</packagereq>
</packagelist>
</group>
The group is also listed in the <optionlist> section of the environment. When looking at the GUI, the headless management add-on is not selected, even though it should be.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-4.0.9.2-4.el8.noarch
libcomps-0.1.8-13.el8.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start an installation via anaconda, point it at a repo that has an addon with <default>true</default> defined
2. Go to the Software Spoke
3.
Actual results:
add-on not selected by default
Expected results:
add-on selected by default
Additional info:
I've copied Martin Kolman from the anaconda team, who can help with how the anaconda code flow works as needed.
I also tried specifying <default>True</default> in case it was a case-sensitive issue, but it appears the compose tooling changed it back to "true" in the output comps.xml file.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
