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 Petr Stodulka 2022-09-19 11:39:34 UTC
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2127918

I am copying this bug because: 



After the in-place upgrade, the removal of "*leapp*" packages keep many untracked *pyc files present on the disk.

    /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/leapp/**cpython36.pyc
    /usr/share/leapp-repository/**cpython36.pyc

Expected result:
Removal of "*leapp*" and snactor packages after the IPU does not leave many untracked "pyc" files on the system.

Additional info:
These files are not removed by dnf automatically as they are part of the rpm. That's happening because these files are created after the upgrade rpm transaction, whenwe execute `leapp` with the new python which creates all new `pyc` files.

Possibly we could fix that by running the python with `-B` option or using `PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE` envar.
