607537 – libcgroup depends on redhat-lsb

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 Jan Safranek 2010-06-24 10:26:11 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #603578 +++

Description of problem:
Packages aren't supposed to depend on redhat-lsb, and the latest libcgroup does (and is brought in by policycoreutils).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libcgroup.i686                    0.36.1-1.fc14                    rawhide

--- Additional comment from mclasen on 2010-06-16 20:47:03 EDT ---

This has ramifications for our live cds: we now have gettext and cvs on the live cd, pulled in via:

policycoreutils-python -> libcgroup -> redhat-lsb -> gettext -> cvs

The redhat-lsb dependency is unacceptable.

--- Additional comment from jsafrane on 2010-06-22 08:28:26 EDT ---

OK, I give up... Let's patch the initscripts until #245494 is resolved.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-06-24 10:32:56 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 4 Mike Gahagan 2010-08-18 16:00:48 UTC

confirmed libcgroup no longer needs redhat-lsb in Snapshot 11

Comment 5 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 21:02:23 UTC

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.

Comment 6 Leonid Kanter 2013-11-27 14:13:35 UTC

This problem was re-implemented in 6.5

# rpm -q --requires libcgroup-0.40.rc1-5.el6.x86_64 | grep redhat-lsb
redhat-lsb-core

Comment 7 Matthias Saou 2013-11-28 15:03:21 UTC

I second Leonid on this one. All of my minimal RHEL6 systems are about to become not-so-minimal-anymore because of RHEL 6.5's libcgroup package update :

[root@host ~]# yum update libcgroup

Comment 9 Ondrej Vasik 2013-11-28 16:50:39 UTC

In the case that something reoccurs after several years, it is better to open new case. Otherwise, the old bugzilla remains assigned to the engineer who worked on it in the past - and sometimes he may no longer be assigned to this project. I reassigned the bugzilla to current maintainer, new dependency was added by accident and there is already activity trying to resolve it quickly.

Comment 10 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2013-12-04 22:35:07 UTC

Affects me as well.

Comment 11 Matthias Saou 2013-12-13 09:45:29 UTC

This has been resolved with the 0.40.rc1-5.el6.1 update. See #1036805 for the details.
