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: powerpc-utils-1.3.6-12.el8_3
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The bootlist command is needed to work on RHCOS, but this command is part of powerpc-utils package. All commands from powerpc-utils that don't depend on perl should be moved into powerpc-utils-core sub package.

Comment 7 Eirik Fuller 2021-01-17 16:53:26 UTC 
https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/4994717 has two recipes, one with powerpc-utils-1.3.6-12.el8_3 and one with powerpc-utils-1.3.6-11.el8.

Each recipe ran 'bootlist --help' after removing the perl-interpreter package. The powerpc-utils-1.3.6-12.el8_3 recipe succeeded, and the powerpc-utils-1.3.6-11.el8 recipe failed (bootlist: command not found), as expected.

Each recipe also lists the contents of both powerpc-utils and powerpc-utils-core (before removing perl-interpreter). The powerpc-utils-1.3.6-12.el8_3 recipe lists considerably fewer files in powerpc-utils, as follows.

/usr/sbin/hvcsadmin
/usr/sbin/rtas_dump
/usr/share/doc/powerpc-utils
/usr/share/doc/powerpc-utils/Changelog
/usr/share/doc/powerpc-utils/README
/usr/share/man/man8/hvcsadmin.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/rtas_dump.8.gz

As exptected /usr/sbin/bootlist is included in the powerpc-utils-core listing in the powerpc-utils-1.3.6-12.el8_3 recipe but not in the powerpc-utils-1.3.6-11.el8 recipe (where it is included in the powerpc-utils listing).

Moving to VERIFIED based on these results.
