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 Todd Zullinger 2012-03-12 16:40:48 UTC 
The current postfix packages contain an unnecessary excplicit requirement on mysql-libs.  This was dropped from the Fedora packages in 2010, but after el6 was branched.  For anyone that has a need to use the MySQL packages from upstream, it makes postfix difficult to install, as installing mysql-libs along with the MySQL\* packages from upstream is not wise.

The mysql-libs requirement should be dropped.  The automatic rpm deps already pick up libmysqlclient.so.16(), so the explicit mysql-libs requirement is redundant.

I think we could drop more.
Comment 3 Todd Zullinger 2012-03-13 14:51:17 UTC 
Indeed.  That looks to cover most of what Miroslav dropped from the Fedora packages a while back¹.  The requires on setup >= 2.5.36 was dropped there too, and may be worth dropping in the RHEL packages.  RHEL5 has 2.5.58, RHEL6 is on 2.8.x.  But that's not one that should cause anyone any trouble.

Thanks for taking a look Jaraslav.
