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 Matt Mezynski 2022-06-22 17:55:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
systemd is included in the ubi9 and ubi9-minimal image, is this intended and if so why?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ubi9 and ubi9-minimal images

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Note that systemd is provided in:

https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/ubi9/618326f8c0d15aff4912fe0b?container-tabs=packages

https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/ubi9-minimal/61832888c0d15aff4912fe0d?container-tabs=packages

Actual results:
systemd is in the ubi9 and ubi9-minimal package set

Expected results:
Unsure if this was a design choice difference from ubi8 and ubi8-minimal

Additional info:
N/A
Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2022-06-22 18:44:55 UTC 
ubi8 also includes systemd.

[root@584ff689e674 /]# 

ubi8-minimal and ubi9-minimal both include systemd-libs, which provides the libudev library.  The main systemd package is not included in either minimal image.


[jwboyer@vader ~]$ podman run -it --rm ubi9-minimal
[root@1ca52576f52e /]# rpm -q systemd
package systemd is not installed

Comment 3 Derrick Ornelas 2022-06-22 18:59:01 UTC 
It's not 100% clear in the description, but having spoken to Matt about this issue I know the real question is about why systemd is included in ubi9-minimal when it's not in ubi8-minimal.

dbus-broker-28-5.el9.x86_64
openldap-2.4.59-4.el9_0.x86_64


After some digging I believe this is related:

  Bug 2074672 - OpenLDAP pulls in systemd in the minimal installation


I think device-mapper is pulled in by cryptsetup-libs which is pulled in by systemd.  And, dbus, etc is also pulled in by systemd.

OK, that is odd.  I don't see it in the internal images so perhaps it's already resolved.

OK.  Either way, there's nothing for the images to resolve here.  The answer is "it's a dependency of something" and the fix would be to remove that dependency.
Comment 5 Derrick Ornelas 2022-06-22 21:02:06 UTC 
I do think you're right that it's resolved in Stream and the latest RHEL openldap build

rpm -qp --requires ./openldap-2.4.59-5.el9.x86_64.rpm | grep systemd | wc -l
0
