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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

package list before removing packages
Description of problem: upon removing unwanted packages, my cpu speed became like molasses, and shutdown is hung at cpuspeed stop. i deduce that cpuspeed has a blind dependency. first i'd like to know which package(s), so i can put them back. second, the dependencies should be observed in the rpm.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [awaiting reboot of system to see]
How reproducible:
1. compare attached lists to see what packages i removed
2. remove them
Actual results: cpu speed became like molasses, and shutdown hung at cpuspeed stop
Expected results: cpuspeed proper functioning
Additional info: shutdown is printing:
[772801.386042] INFO: task vgs:249975 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

cpuspeed has no dependencies but the standard library and communicates with kernel via sysfs. There's nothing hidden. Maybe something is locking your sysfs files or kernel takes to long to read them (if ever) for some reason?
We haven't released even 6.3 yet; please, correct the component version.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Is it still reproducible? As Petr said there are no hidden dependencies.
