Description of problem:

• Generating SCAP report fails with the following error on RHEL 9.

~~~
cannot load such file – json (LoadError)
~~~

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

• RHEL 9

How reproducible:

• In scenarios where rubygem-json is not installed.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Exclude the package rubygem-json from the repository. A CV filter can be used if the client is registered to a Satellite

2. Install the package `rubygem-foreman_scap_client`

3. Run `/usr/bin/foreman_scap_client`

Actual results:

• foreman_scap_client fails with the following error.

   from /usr/bin/foreman_scap_client:23:in `<main>'
   ~~~

Expected results:

• Installation of rubygem-foreman_scap_client should fail if rubygem-json is not available for some reason.

Additional info:

• There seems to be some issue with the dependencies.

• rubygem-foreman_scap_client can be installed with or without the rubygem-json package. See the transactions below. On the second transaction, rubygem-json package was filtered using CV filter.
