Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 Florian Weimer 2019-06-05 16:18:12 UTC

Due to the way the locale archive is regenerated, this is redundant with the %ghost declaration.

The current declaration will likely result in an .rpmsave file being generated in a future in-place upgrade scenario.  Hopefully, that can be avoided by doing this transition in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Comment 1 Florian Weimer 2019-08-01 06:33:33 UTC

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, this was fixed as part of bug 1717347 (Do not delete locale archive during update).  In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, the locale archive was never deleted during a package update, which is why I filed this separate bug.

Comment 3 Sergey Kolosov 2019-11-22 16:33:14 UTC

Verified, also checked with rpmlint, no new warnings
