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 of problem:
As a Python programmer I wanted to stop abrt from reacting on any Python crash. I was advised to remove abrt-addon-python. However, yum remove abrt-addon-python removes also abrt-desktop and abrt-cli. If the abrt-addon-python is just an (semi-)optional engine for Python  backtraces, than abrt-cli shouldn't hard require it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
abrt-2.0.4-14.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.yum remove abrt-addon-python
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
removes also abrt-desktop and abrt-cli

Expected results:
nothing should be removed aside from this engine

Additional info:

Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

- we need to create a virtual package as abrt-desktop to pull the dependencies, so users can remove the plugins without removing the abrt-cli package

- created a new package abrt-tui which holds the abrt-cli binary and abrt-cli is now an empty package which just pulls all the required dependencies for the default setup.

Appears to be fixed as er comment #4:
