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.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.Anaconda successfully finishes the installation without `btrfs-progs` package Previously, anaconda tried to install the `btrfs-progs` package if it detected a Btrfs device. However, there was no such package in the RHEL 8 repository. As a consequence, anaconda showed a dialog with a warning message about a missing package during the installation. With this update, anaconda does not try to install the `btrfs-progs` package, and the installation finishes successfully without showing a warning message about the missing `btrfs-progs` package.

Anaconda error

Description of problem:

During installation on a host which has a BTRFS filesystem on any disk not used by this very installation, the BTRFS signature is detected and btrfs-progs is added as package requirement. But it does not exist in RHEL 8.

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

RHEL 8 Beta

How reproducible:

Install RHEL 8 Beta on a host that has a BTRFS signature on any unused filesystem. I will attach a small signature for testing below.

Actual results:

Anaconda will complain that btrfs-progs is missing, see screenshot "Anaconda error".

Expected results:

It should just ignore any BTRFS filesystems.

Additional info:

anaconda.log contains:
08:19:27,922 DBG payload: added package requirement 'btrfs-progs' for storage, strong=True

Sample BTRFS Signature

This signature can be used to create a testcase without the need of a running version of btrfs-progs.

This is a duplicate of bug 1676403.

However, I won't close this bug because you don't have access to the original bug report.
Comment 5 Radek Vykydal 2020-03-31 14:54:25 UTC 
This should be fixed by rebase to upstream where the issue was fixed in https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/2322.

Forget it.  If this is still a problem with RHEL 8.1, it can be fixed in RHEL 8.2.
