Description Florian Weimer 2013-10-11 09:56:04 UTC
The spec file has this:

%triggerpostun -- php-pear-XML-Util
# re-register extension unregistered during postun of obsoleted php-pear-XML-Util
%{_bindir}/pear install --nodeps --soft --force --register-only %{pear_xmldir}/XML_Util.xml >/dev/null || :

There is a macros file which defines pear_xmldir, but it is apparently not used while building the package, so the macro reference is not expanded.

I've seen this with php-pear-1:1.9.4-4.el6.noarch.

Comment 2 Remi Collet 2013-10-11 11:15:16 UTC
The pear_xmldir is define by the macros.pear file, owned by php-pear (so of course not available at build time).

Verified:

# rpm -q php-pear
php-pear-1.9.4-4.el6.noarch
# rpm -q --triggers php-pear
triggerpostun scriptlet (using /bin/sh) -- php-pear-XML-Util
# re-register extension unregistered during postun of obsoleted php-pear-XML-Util
/usr/bin/pear install --nodeps --soft --force --register-only %{pear_xmldir}/XML_Util.xml >/dev/null || :


I think this trigger (inherited from fedora time) could be remove.
It will never be used as designed to handle update from pear without XML-Util, which is Fedora specific.

Simple fix:

%triggerpostun -- php-pear-XML-Util
# re-register extension unregistered during postun of obsoleted php-pear-XML-Util
%{_bindir}/pear install --nodeps --soft --force --register-only  \
   %{peardir}/.pkgxml/XML_Util.xml >/dev/null || :
