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 Petr Pisar 2010-10-22 13:47:26 UTC 
According bug #566360, vconfig package is scheduled for removal from
distribution in favor of iproute2. dracut-network package has been identified as
requiring vconfig at run-time.

Please fix your package to not depend on vconfig. If your package provides
scripts for RHEL initscripts, contact `initscripts' component maintainer (bug #566485).
Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2010-10-26 10:15:22 UTC 
Is vconfig included in iproute2? Or is there a similar tool?
Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2010-10-26 10:31:54 UTC 
vconfig is to drop. iproute2 package contains comprehensive ip(8) utility that is able to set VLANs on its own.

There is short example on vconfig homepage <http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan.html>. For more details refer to ip(8) manual or ask iproute2 package maintainer (psabata).

With older version:

$ rpm -q dracut-network
dracut-network-004-33.2.el6_0.noarch
$ rpm -qR dracut-network | grep vconfig
vconfig 


With newer version:

# rpm -q dracut-network
dracut-network-004-38.el6.noarch
# rpm -qR dracut-network | grep vconfig



Dependency on vconfig has been removed.
