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.

iptables-nft should require coreutils if it executes readlink in rpm scriptlets.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iptables-nft-1.8.7-23.el9

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -qp iptables-nft-1.8.7-23.el9.x86_64.rpm --requires | grep coreutils

Actual results:
iptables-nft scriptlets call readlink, but the package deosn't require coreutils - this leads to errors when installing the package

Expected results:
Commands used in rpm scriptlets are installed before the iptables-nft rpm scriptlets are executed.
Comment 1 Phil Sutter 2021-10-01 13:57:38 UTC 
Thanks for the report. This was fixed in Fedora shortly after automatic sync was disabled.
Comment 3 Štěpán Němec 2021-10-13 10:56:47 UTC 
Tested iptables-1.8.7-24.el9

RHEL 9 iptables.spec now contains the fix from Fedora:
