the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

This upstream commit is needed to get pytz building again:
commit 07aa4d962dae5cb7ced4f61fe85a9001a01676df

Revert inclusion of PACKRATDATA=backzone
Per https://github.com/python/tzdata/issues/53#issuecomment-1213628767
I chose to include backzone in pytz in an attempt to head off problems:
Changes to past timestamps
Finish moving to 'backzone' the location-based zones whose
timestamps since 1970 are duplicates; adjust links accordingly.
This change ordinarily affects only pre-1970 timestamps, and with
the new PACKRATLIST option it does not affect any timestamps.
In this round the affected zones are Antarctica/Vostok,
Asia/Brunei, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik,
Europe/Amsterdam, Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg,
Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo, Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas,
Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen, Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion,
Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti, Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei,
Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis, and the affected links are
Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland, Pacific/Ponape,
Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.
This upstream change modifies some of the pre-1970 transitions in obscure
ways that almost zero users will actually care about, and where quite
likely dubious in any case. Such as the times pre-1970 when Belfast was
not on London time or when Amsterdam switched from being 18-20 minutes
ahead of GMT to GMT. Changes to historical timezones has always happened
in the upstream database, and normally they are called corrections
(which only causes breakage if you area storing wallclock times rather
than UTC timestamps).
--- Additional comment from Lumír Balhar on 2023-06-27 09:41:06 UTC ---
It seems that the problem now causes FTBFS of pytz in python27 and python38 modules in RHEL 8. I'm gonna clone this bugzilla for them.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
For information on the advisory (Moderate: python38:3.8 and python38-devel:3.8 security update), and where to find the updated
files, follow the link below.
If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report.
