SOFTWARE_UPDATE on RHEL 7.6

Hi,
I have tried to get the SOFTWARE_UPDATE events on a new RHEL 7.6 beta 1 with audit rebased on 2.8.4
When installing a new rpm I get the corresponding event.
The text format is very easily readable  :)
Unfortunately when I remove the package I get nothing.
Is it the intending behavior ?

If updates are pushed through Redhat satellite or  Spacewalk would I get the event ?

Philippe

Yes. That is the intended behavior. If package removal events are desired, a 
bug report may be filed. OSPP v4.2 requirements are concerned about software 
being installed and upgraded. It is silent on software removal.

The patch is in librpm, so it should be recorded by anything that uses it.
