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.

Comment 7 Eirik Fuller 2020-06-07 03:15:53 UTC 
Bug 1814335 comment 39 explains an indirect dependency of systemd on perl-interpreter introduced by this rebase, and the potential implications for coreos (long story short, newer libpcap packages disrupt the exclusion of perl-interpreter due to the libpcap dependency on libibverbs).

Hi Eirik, 

we have already removed the dependency on libibverbs from libpcap. It was causing dependency issues in Fedora so we decided that we won't include it in RHEL-8.3.0 because we cannot tell what could happen if we did. Newer version of libpcap(14:1.9.1-3) is without the libibverbs:

Comment 9 Eirik Fuller 2020-06-08 13:05:34 UTC 
Thanks for the pointer. It didn't occur to me to look at newer libpcap builds as I investigated this dependency.
