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: oscap-anaconda-addon-1.1.1-2.el8
Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
.`Server with GUI` and `Workstation` installations are not possible with CIS Server profiles The CIS Server Level 1 and Level 2 security profiles are not compatible with the `Server with GUI` and `Workstation` software selections. As a consequence, a RHEL 8 installation with the `Server with GUI` software selection and CIS Server profiles is not possible. An attempted installation using the CIS Server Level 1 or Level 2 profiles and either of these software selections will generate the error message: ---- package xorg-x11-server-common has been added to the list of excluded packages, but it can't be removed from the current software selection without breaking the installation. ---- If you need to align systems with the `Server with GUI` or `Workstation` software selections according to CIS benchmarks, use the CIS Workstation Level 1 or Level 2 profiles instead.

Moving to oscap-anaconda-addon, as the failure of the installation is not content's fault.
