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 Florian Weimer 2019-06-05 09:55:07 UTC 
The %postun scriptlet is buggy: It deletes /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive during package updates, not just during uninstallation.  As a result, it is currently very difficult to update to a glibc-all-langpacks package which installs this file.  See bug 1716710.

We should perform the deletion only if arg[2] == 0 (which signifies uninstallation).
Comment 2 Florian Weimer 2019-06-05 16:19:47 UTC 
We also need to drop the %config attribute to avoid creating .rpmsave files in the future.
Comment 4 Sergey Kolosov 2019-09-19 13:02:31 UTC 
Verified, glibc-lang-langpacks removes locale archive during uninstallation.
