Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

Actually the problem is more serious: our custom dependency
generator (libguestfs-find-requires.sh) is no longer working,
not even in Fedora. This apparently started after we moved to
using febootstrap-supermin-helper.

It's in the SRPM. The Fedora equivalent script is here:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/libguestfs/
The problem is just that the path to 'hostfiles' moved, and
consequently it's not reading the correct file.

I think this bug should be a 6.0 blocker. The fix is
a simple single-line change.

Jinxin, you are right again. This is in fact another bug.
History: in bug 547496 we added the library dependencies.
We only added the library dependencies because binary dependencies
(eg. /sbin/e2fsck) are already taken care of in the specfile which
has a long list of 'Requires' lines.
However, the 'Requires' line is missing binutils, I guess because
we didn't realize that 'strings' is part of binutils, and also that
binutils wouldn't just be pulled in indirectly anyway.
So: I have opened another Fedora bug about this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616437
and I've cloned that bug for RHEL 6:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616438
Please keep this bug for discussion of the library issue!

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.
