Hide Forgot
Request Description: To collect "rpm --showrc" command output in the "sos_commands/rpm/rpm_--showrc" file inside sosreport data. Explanation: There was a scenario where Customer was able to perform "rpm -ivh some.rpm" but not "rpm -ivh http://XX.XX.XX.XX/pub/some.rpm". The strace data displayed that rpm was not using any curl methods to download the file from remote server and then install the same. Further analysis (rpm -V rpm) displayed that CU had modified the "/usr/lib/rpm/macros" file and that was missing all the urlhelper functions [ which basically contains the definitions of how rpm should use curl ]. This information was further verified via "rpm --showrc" command output and after reinstalling rpm package itself, the issue was fixed. If we would have had the output collected in sosreport, We could have reduced 4 - 5 case comments easily. Additional Note: * I am sure that, there is some other use of this output as well when investigating rpm\yum-related cases. * This command gets executed pretty quickly and I don't see this causing any slowness during sosreport collection for any reason as well.
Thanks for the PR. Planned to be in 8.5 by default.
