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 1 David Tardon 2020-08-03 07:34:57 UTC 
This is a regression from bug 1804252. The fix for it is missing https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/a67c318df8800ba98d7361308937ed276dc73982 .
Comment 3 Lukáš Nykrýn 2020-11-02 13:44:01 UTC 
fix merged to github master branch -> https://github.com/systemd-rhel/rhel-8/pull/116
Comment 9 Federico Ressi 2020-12-16 09:01:32 UTC 
To workaround this problem in DevStack I started writing patch [1] to install python3-systemd package instead of using this package from PIP. This solution looks to work also for other Linux distros like Fedora 32, Ubuntu Focal and Suse 15 according to the results of OpenStack CI jobs.
