Hm something does not seem right in the Fedora Rawhide build, as it still tries to look for |
|
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/subscription-manager/pull-request/55 has this plus some additional changes and it builds fine. |
The changes there are too "newer Fedora" dependent, and this packaging has to work with EL 10 too. I'll get this reviewed (it'll still fail), and add extra bits for the sbin+bin unification. |
Fedora is working on unifying /usr/bin and /usr/sbin: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin Because of that, we cannot ship anymore /usr/bin/subscription-manager and /usr/sbin/subscription-manager as different executables. /usr/bin/subscription-manager is actually provided for usage with usermode, so non-root users invoking "subscription-manager" are prompted for the root password. Nowadays most administrators use "sudo" for running commands, and usermode did not get a lot of adoption. Hence, simply drop the usage of consolehelper altogether. This makes subscription-manager compatible with Fedora 42+, and in general drops a very low used feature. Card ID: CCT-1106
pam_console was dropped in Fedora 39: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RemovePamConsole Since the files have no use anymore, drop them altogether. Card ID: CCT-990

I'm un-drafting this PR to get it merged, even if it does not build yet on Fedora Rawhide. There are more changes needed on Rawhide, and I want to not overload this. |
