            No, /bin/sh vs /usr/bin/sh is irrelevant. Setup not being installed by the time coreutils-common is installed is just a symptom of this very issue, see my comment in RHEL-26042.

            In my image building process I don't see setup package being installed before coreutils-common. I think the postin failure there is because it requires /bin/sh as interpreter instead of /usr/bin/sh.

            Please, let me know if you are still facing the issue with any image. I can try to help you find a person who could help speed up the rebuild process (if possible) or find out when the next rebuild is planned.

            Only FYI, the fix for this (I mean untagging affected build(s)) should get propagated to RHEL compose & ISOs overnight (ISOs are supposedly getting rebuilt overnight), regarding the centos stream images that might take a little longer.

            Hi All,

            This issue is also seemingly effecting the live CentOS 8 Stream Net Install images, is there a way to tell when the fix begins rolling out to the mirrors?

            We could use redhat-rpm-config. That should solve this when building packages at least.

            But I guess we have missed the train here. We can probably leave it weird :/
