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 Andrew Slice 2022-09-06 16:28:51 UTC 
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2028819

I am copying this bug because: 



This could help decrease RHEL-9 containers a bit.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2023435 +++

Description of problem:

nss_wrapper is used in non-root containers to create missing user entries:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/container/postgresql/blob/rawhide/f/root/usr/share/container-scripts/postgresql/common.sh#_183

And in containers, every MB is counted. nss_wrapper by default pulls in cmake and many other packages, because it ships cmake config file. In total, it's around 100MB unpacked.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss_wrapper-1.1.11-6.fc35

How reproducible:
easily

Steps to Reproduce:
1. podman run -ti --rm fedora bash -c 'yum install -y nss_wrapper'

Actual results:
  <other dnf output snipped>
Install  78 Packages
  <other dnf output snipped>
Installed size: 109 M
  <other dnf output snipped>

Expected results:
Ideally only nss_wrapper library is installed.

Additional info:

I'd suggest to introduce a nss_wrapper-devel package that can ship the cmake config file and the necessary dependencies, and only users/components that need those would install that.

This change might need 3 other components to update the spec, as they might currently count with cmake config to be installed:

$> dnf repoquery --repoid=fedora-source --whatrequires nss_wrapper
cyrus-sasl-0:2.1.27-8.fc34.src
libssh-0:0.9.5-2.fc34.src
sssd-0:2.4.2-3.fc34.src

--- Additional comment from Honza Horak on 2021-11-15 17:35:50 UTC ---

I've had second thoughts and realized due to the backward compatibility and because there is also a perl tool that is not something to the devel package, introducing nss_wrapper-libs that would only provide the library itself is likely better way how to deal with this. A PR is prepared:
