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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.
Previously, when sos was run without the rpm-python package installed, the sosreport program terminated with a traceback. With this update, the rpm-python package has been added into the sos spec file as a required package and this bug no longer occurs.
Description of problem:
sosreport requires rpm-python but that is not a dependency of the sos rpm
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-2.2-2.el6.noarch
How reproducible:
every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove rpm-python (if installed)
2. install sos
3. attempt to run sos
Actual results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/sosreport", line 18, in <module>
from sos.sosreport import sosreport, doExitCode
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sos/sosreport.py", line 40, in <module>
import sos.policyredhat
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sos/policyredhat.py", line 31, in <module>
import rpm
ImportError: No module named rpm
Expected results:
sos should run
