2142494 – buildah installation includes runc as a dependency [RHEL 9.2]

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 Aviad Nahtomi 2022-11-14 08:43:57 UTC

Description of problem:
While 'crun' is the default runtime, when installing 'buildah' it still marks the 'runc' package as a dependency, thus installing both runtime packages.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
buildah-1.26.X (GA)
buildah-1.27.X (9.1 Beta)


How reproducible:
Fully


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create RHEL 9.0 GA / 9.1 Beta virtual machine
2. Run the "repoquery" command:
~~~
  # dnf repoquery --requires buildah | grep -i run
Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:16 ago on Mon 14 Nov 2022 09:16:43 AM IST.
runc >= 1.0.0-26
~~~
3. Install 'buildah' and examine the installed packages:
~~~
 # dnf install buildah
...
Installing:
 buildah                        x86_64   1:1.26.2-1.el9_0       rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms   7.9 M
Installing dependencies:
 checkpolicy                    x86_64   3.3-1.el9              rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms   343 k
...
 crun                           x86_64   1.4.5-2.el9_0          rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms   189 k
...
 runc     
~~~


Actual results:
The 'runc' package is marked as a dependency and installed (along with the default 'crun').


Expected results:
Do not install 'runc'


Additional info:
A similar bug (BZ #2092798) has occurred in 'podman' and has been resolved.
A merge request has already been submitted on Git by the reporting customer:
 Don't require runc and Recommends: crun - https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/buildah/-/merge_requests/140

Comment 2 Jindrich Novy 2022-11-14 09:50:44 UTC

Yes, this one needs ot be fixed.

Comment 4 Joy Pu 2022-11-18 03:43:38 UTC

Checked with  buildah-1.28.0-2.el9.x86_64.rpm it is already changed to oci-runtime and will install crun in RHEL 9 system. So add Tested flag.
# yum install buildah-1.28.0-2.el9.x86_64.rpm

Test with buildah-1.28.2-1.el9.x86_64.rpm and the runtime installed with dependency is already changed to crun, so move it to verified:

# yum install buildah-1.28.2-1.el9.x86_64.rpm
