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 Lubos Kocman 2013-08-21 05:47:16 UTC 
Description of problem:

(copying text)

In ComputeNode, the java-1.7.0-openjdk package is in base and the
xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 package is in optional. In 6.4 and earlier, this
has been fine since there was no dependency between the two.

$ rpm -qRp /mnt/redhat/released/RHEL-6/6.4/ComputeNode/x86_64/os/Packages/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.9-2.3.4.1.el6_3.x86_64.rpm | grep xorg
$

However, an async errata update to java-1.7.0-openjdk introduced this
new dependency.

$ rpm -qRp /mnt/redhat/brewroot/packages/java-1.7.0-openjdk/1.7.0.19/2.3.9.1.el6_4/x86_64/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.19-2.3.9.1.el6_4.x86_64.rpm | grep xorg
xorg-x11-fonts-Type1

So, currently, java-1.7.0-openjdk is broken on Compute Node unless the
customer subscribes to the Optional channel.


Actual results:

optional repo is required

Expected results:

one of these should work: remove dependency or let's move package from optional to base. Which will require explicit ack of manager and changing component to rel-eng.

Comment 2 Jan Stodola 2013-08-21 08:17:00 UTC 
Note that xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 requires ttmkfdir, which is also in optional channel for ComputeNode.
Comment 3 Deepak Bhole 2013-08-21 13:18:24 UTC 
The dependency was added to fix Bug# 721033. Removing it will reintroduce the issue -- I think it might be better to move the font package and ttmkfdir to optional.

Re-assigning component to xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 and adding myself to cc:
Comment 4 Dennis Gregorovic 2013-08-21 13:44:22 UTC 
It ends up being more than just those two packages when you do full dependency resolution.  The actual list looks more like:

ConsoleKit-x11
db4-cxx
db4-devel
gdbm-devel
libXdmcp
libXxf86misc
libmcpp
mcpp
shared-mime-info
ttmkfdir

xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi

Comment 5 Deepak Bhole 2013-08-21 13:50:17 UTC 
Doh! Is moving them out of optional a realistic possibility, or shall I re-assign this to OpenJDK and revert the dependency (reintroducing Bug# 721033?
Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-13 23:14:59 UTC 
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.
