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.

Description Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2021-07-26 09:03:30 UTC
Description of problem:

When installing postfix package, it now asks

  Enter PEM pass phrase:

and waits for the interactive input. That might be doable on dnf command line but when postfix is listed in kickstart file, provisioning the OS hangs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

postfix-3.5.9-9.el9.s390x
openssl-3.0.0-0.beta1.4.el9.s390x

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install -y postfix

Actual results:

Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity

This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.

Enter PEM pass phrase:

Expected results:

Installation finishes without any interactive prompt.

Additional info:

This might be related to the upgrade of openssl to openssl-3.0.0-0.beta1.4.el9.

Comment 2 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2021-07-26 09:06:20 UTC
For comparison, /usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd-init.service calls

ExecStart=/usr/libexec/httpd-ssl-gencerts

which in turn calls sscg and that passes.

Comment 3 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2021-07-26 09:30:47 UTC
When dnf install -y postfix is run in environment where it does not have terminal, the dnf transaction will finish but with messages

Enter PEM pass phrase:

The man openssl-genrsa(1ossl) also says

DESCRIPTION
       This command has been deprecated.  The openssl-genpkey(1) command
       should be used instead.

and

HISTORY
       This command was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
