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.

Comment 1 Niels De Graef 2022-11-16 12:27:33 UTC 
As mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2119807#c20, the xorg-x11-font-utils package doesn't exist anymore, as it was deaggregated into several subpackages.

It does indeed seem like the tigervnc package still BuildRequires xorg-x11-font-utils (https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/tigervnc/-/blob/c9s/tigervnc.spec#L45) which should be fixed. Moving to the tigervnc component so the spec file can be updated
Comment 2 Pierre Ossman 2022-11-16 13:05:46 UTC 
As I mentioned on that bug, that doesn't seem to be true. DNF cannot find the relevant file in any package. I.e. /usr/share/aclocal/fontutil.m4.

Something needs to provide XORG_FONT_MACROS_VERSION for Xorg's configure.ac to work.

Is this ok [y/N]: 

the xorg-x11-font-utils package needs to be shipped in CRB.

It does exists - https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/xorg-x11-font-utils/-/blob/c9s/xorg-x11-font-utils.spec
Comment 7 Peter Hutterer 2022-11-23 05:13:48 UTC 
For the archives, I've just file a bug to remove xorg-x11-font-utils from the xserver's dependency list. It provides very little value and we can easily do this ourselves. See Bug 2145088 for details.

Porting this to RHEL9 may be the best solution here instead of exposing a package that's not really needed in the CRB.
