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 of problem:

xmlstarlet is missing in EPEL8

As there is no alternative to this tool (validate or query xml files from cmdline), it's important to have it on EPEL-8

--- Additional comment from Alfredo Deza on 2019-10-18 19:26:22 UTC ---

The Ceph project depends on this missing package for builds, we've had to install it directly from the commandline (!) as a workaround. Any progress on this would be greatly appreciated.

Could you please provide this package in a UBI8 repo. We use the keycloak image from now based on ubi8 and need to adapt the xml configuration on image build. Thank you and kind regards, Gena

--- Additional comment from Paul W. Frields on 2019-11-15 17:44:58 UTC ---

@Gena: Is there a reason a package in the EPEL 8 repository won't work for this purpose?

May be, but i only have 2 repositories available:

sh-4.4# dnf  repolist
repo id           repo name
ubi-8-appstream   Red Hat Universal Base Image 8 (RPMs) - AppStream
ubi-8-baseos      Red Hat Universal Base Image 8 (RPMs) - BaseOS


EPEL is not listed there

thank you for the hint, but it says nothing about, how to use the UBI8 image outside the playground: i prefer to install my packages from approved repos. The simple enablement of EPEL via microdnf is not described. The only library to work with xml from the console is the xmlstarlet, so, in my opinion, it should be put into default repo just like it's done by alpine, debian, ubuntu...

--- Additional comment from Paul W. Frields on 2019-12-06 16:28:23 UTC ---

To enable EPEL on UBI Standard or Multi-service, simply use the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL and you can `yum install xmlstarlet`.

To enable with microdnf, you must create a suitable .repo file in your UBI environment. At a minimum:

[epel]
name=EPEL 8
baseurl=https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/8/Everything/x86_64
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-8

And grab the GPG key from the epel-release source repo:

$ curl -o /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-8 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-release/raw/epel8/f/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-8

You can then `microdnf install xmlstarlet`.

We are facing an issue again with rockylinux:8.6 container image. 

Steps followed are as below - 

1. Create a container from rockylinux:8.6 

[root@ssc-vm-rhev4-0707 ~]# docker run --rm -it rockylinux:8.6

2. Enable powertools and install epel-release package 

[root@acb8441a9bb1 /]# dnf install dnf-plugin-config-manager -y ;dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

Many EPEL packages require the CodeReady Builder (CRB) repository.
It is recommended that you run /usr/bin/crb enable to enable the CRB repository.

Many EPEL packages require the CodeReady Builder (CRB) repository.
It is recommended that you run /usr/bin/crb enable to enable the CRB repository.

--- Additional comment from Guenther on 2022-08-29 11:00:42 UTC ---

i´m facing the same issue. 

seems that xmlstarlet is no longer available in epel... can`t find it here: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/8/Everything/x86_64/Packages/x/

Comment 1 Davide Cavalca 2022-08-29 14:50:05 UTC

Looks like this package is being removed from EPEL because it's getting added to RHEL proper: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2072386

Comment 2 David Galloway 2022-08-29 15:31:18 UTC

Yikes.  What a mess.  Most Ceph upstream CI runs are failing because the package was removed prematurely...

Comment 3 Ken Dreyer (Red Hat) 2022-08-29 15:49:07 UTC

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2114762 indicates this package is going into RHEL 8.6.

Paul, when can we expect this package in CentOS 8 Stream? We build Ceph a lot upstream, and this package retirement has broken our CI.

Comment 4 Carl George 🤠 2022-08-30 01:19:09 UTC

Looks like there was some confusion on the xmlstarlet retirement.  It is being added to both RHEL 8.6 (bug 2114762) and RHEL 8.7 (bug 1882020).  Our EPEL2RHEL automation opened two corresponding bugs for the EPEL 8 retirement (bug 2118244 and bug 2072386).  This is a bit confusing, as there is only one EPEL 8.  The maintainer already retired the EPEL 8 package, but xmlstarlet is not yet available in RHEL 8 or CentOS Stream 8 (C8S).  We are looking at adjusting the automated bug text to be more clear about waiting until after the package is available in RHEL to retire the EPEL package.  I think we'll need to think through a bit how to handle this situation like this where a package is being added to the current RHEL release and the upcoming one.

This package was also retired in EPEL 9 (bug 2084488) because it's coming to RHEL 9.1 (bug 2069689).  Ideally that also should have waited until it was available in RHEL 9.  At least in that case the package is already available in C9S.  That's because the RHEL maintainers are in charge of their builds there.  We keep getting bit by the fact that C8S is still technically a rebuild, it's just rebuilt from a different branch.

xmlstarlet is already available in the RHEL 8.7 nightly composes (not public), and was exported to git.centos.org to be built in C8S.  The problem is it is still a manual process to build and ship new packages in C8S.  I've built xmlstarlet-1.6.1-20.el8 for C8S, and it should be included in the next C8S compose.  If anyone needs the package faster than that, you can download the RPM from the koji build.

Comment 5 Ken Dreyer (Red Hat) 2022-08-30 13:11:27 UTC

Thanks Carl. What ticket tracks the work to update that EPEL2RHEL text?

Comment 6 Paul W. Frields 2022-08-31 21:36:56 UTC

Seeing this bug now. Ironically, if I'd just continued in not seeing BZ email this probably would have worked out without me. @carl thanks for finding a solution. Please let me know if I need to take further action to help unmess things.

Comment 7 Troy Dawson 2022-09-01 15:12:46 UTC

Hi Ken,
The EPEL2RHEL program is not part of EPEL, it is part of the RHEL Workflow.  Any change, even re-wording of the bug subject and comments, will take between 3 to 6 months.  So I want to make sure we get the wording right before starting another ticket for it.
We (the EPEL Steering Committee) might even want to change the workflow.  Possibly have it only create the bugs on the tracker, and not for the individual packages so things like this do not happen again.
I expect the task to update EPEL2RHEL be created next week, but I don't  expect change to happen for several months.

Again, I'm sorry that the original wording caused this situation.  We'll try to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Comment 8 Ken Dreyer (Red Hat) 2022-09-01 20:53:38 UTC

That's ok. When should we expect the xmlstarlet-1.6.1-20.el8 c8s build to be on the CentOS 8 Stream mirrors?

Comment 9 Carl George 🤠 2022-09-02 16:37:42 UTC

Looks like it's there now.

If you aren't seeing you may be hitting a stale mirror.  I spot checked a few mirrors and they had synced it already.

Comment 14 Thomas Moschny 2022-09-05 16:18:45 UTC

Sorry, maybe I'm confused now, but what is the solution for people using 8.6 (rhel or rebuilds)?
IIUC, the package is in stream now, and will be in 8.7, but that leaves a gap in 8.6.

Comment 15 Carl George 🤠 2022-09-06 03:34:13 UTC

It is also being added to RHEL 8.6, as I stated in comment 4.  I don't know when that will be complete, but I expect it will happen before RHEL 8.7 is released.  If you can't wait, you can install the CentOS build [0] or the archived EPEL build [1].  These should be functionally identical.

Comment 16 Carl George 🤠 2022-10-26 22:27:10 UTC

Since this bug is for CentOS Stream 8, and xmlstarlet is available there, I'm closing this bug.

It also is available in RHEL 8.6 now, for those following this bug that can't view bug 2114762 because it's private.
