In CentOS 7.5, the 32-bit version of the redhat-lsb package seems to have gone missing. Anyone know why? Is it a bug?
7.4 includes:
redhat-lsb-4.1-27.el7.centos.1.i686.rpm
redhat-lsb-4.1-27.el7.centos.1.x86_64.rpm
But 7.5 only includes:
redhat-lsb-4.1-27.el7.centos.1.x86_64.rpm
Looks like the 64-bit version hasn't even changed. And all the other redhat-lsb* packages still have their 32-bit version included.

It is a bug. Apparently missed during the QA process. I have filed a bug report.

Great, thanks.
This is blocking us from moving to 7.5 because we require that package for some old software. I guess we would have to create our own custom mirror for our automated KS installations, with that package added back in. Or just handle it specially post-install...

Re: redhat-lsb.i686 pkg missing in CentOS 7.5
Yes, this is indeed unfortunate. The package will be added to the "updates" repository soon. You can use multiple repositories in kickstart files. If you have both "os" and "updates" repositories defined in your kickstart file, you can install redhat-lsb.i686 just fine.

Yep, we already do that, so I'm sure it'll work out fine once it's in updates. Thanks.
Re: redhat-lsb.i686 pkg missing in CentOS 7.5
Now I see the redhat-lsb.i686 package in the updates area of one of the mirrors, but it's at the top level instead of inside the Packages directory which seems unusual?

Yes, it was initially misplaced, but despite that, yum install redhat-lsb.i686 would have worked because the repodata knew about the oddly placed package. The package has now been moved into Packages at it should.
