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.

Hello Sujia

Is it hardware specified issue? May we know which server/prototype the issue reproduced?

Thanks,
Mike
Comment 4 苏佳 2021-07-28 12:20:22 UTC 
It's not hardware specified issue.I can reproduce it on both AMD 1P milan(SR635) and Whitley(SR630V2).

I tried installing all postfix packages and it seems to be postfix-2:3.5.9-9.el9.x86_64's fault:

Enter PEM pass phrase:


Here it hangs. If I close a standard input, it continues like this:

Complete!

I will reassign it to postfix component because RPM scriptlets should not be interactive.
But Anaconda could be more precautious and close the standard input proactively.
Comment 7 Florian Weimer 2021-07-31 15:22:45 UTC 
There is already postfix bug 1985918. Should we close this bug or reassign it to anaconda for more robust terminal handling?
Comment 8 苏佳 2021-08-02 02:06:32 UTC 
According to Commnent 7,it is duplicated with bug 1985918.Then close it and track bug 1985918.
