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: Known Issue
Doc Text:
.*YUM v4* requires all packages specified with `yum install` to be available *YUM v4* validates all arguments of the `yum install` command. Consequently, if any argument does not match an existing package, *YUM v4* exits and does not install packages that match. This behavior differs from *YUM v3* on RHEL 7 where the matching packages were installed in such situation. To work around the problem and make the matching packages installed, use the `--skip-broken` argument together with `yum install`. For more information, see link:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4222871[Why does "yum install <package1> <package2>", where the "<package2>" identifier doesn't exist, cause the transaction to fail in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8?] Knowledgebase article.

Description Daniel Mach 2019-06-05 13:12:03 UTC 
$ yum -y install vim blahblah

On RHEL7:
- installs vim
- informs about non-existing package blahblah

On RHEL8:
- errors out about non-existing package blahblah
- vim is not installed

The difference has to be fixed or documented.
