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.

Fixed In Version: glibc-2.28-120.el8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.`glibc` now installs correct dependencies for 32-bit applications using `nss_db` Previously, the `nss_db.x86_64` package did not declare dependencies on the `nss_db.i686` package. Therefore automated installation did not install `nss_db.i686` on the system, despite having a 32-bit environment `glibc.i686` installed. As a consequence, 32-bit applications using `nss_db` failed to perform accurate user database lookups, while 64-bit applications in the same setup worked correctly. With this update, the `glibc` packages now have weak dependencies that trigger the installation of the `nss_db.i686` package when both `glibc.i686` and `nss_db` are installed on the system. As a result, 32-bit applications using `nss_db` now work correctly, even if the system administrator has not explicitly installed the `nss_db.i686` package.

Description Florian Weimer 2020-02-27 10:16:27 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1807821 +++

If a user installs just nss_db (which means just nss_db.x86_64), 32-bit applications will not work correctly because nss_db.i686 must be separately, now that the lesser-used NSS modules have been split from the main glibc package.

(A similar fix should be applied to nss_hesiod, but that is less important because it's supposedly deprecated.)
