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.

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1794314

I am copying this bug because: 

Yes


Description of problem:
I have installed "setools", expecting it to pull in setools-console and/or setools-gui, just like many other similar metapackages do. However, this apparently doesn't work, because the "setools" RPM only depends on python3-setools. This is confusing at best and the "setools" package seemingly serves no useful purpose for most users. Perhaps its description should be amended?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
setools-4.2.2-1.fc31.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf remove setools-*
2. dnf install setools

Actual results:
Neither setools-console nor setools-gui are installed, "sesearch" is not available.

Expected results:
A "collection of graphical tools, command-line tools, and Python modules" should be installed according to the description of the "setools" package.
