Description Kai Engert (:kaie) (inactive account) 2014-12-15 11:28:24 UTC
Please make the following cleanup in nss.spec for RHEL 7.2

nss.spec contains the script pasted at the end of this comment.

I suggest to remove it, it was never necessary on RHEL 7, and is harmless.


%posttrans
# An earlier version of this package had an incorrect %%postun script (3.14.3-9).
# (The incorrect %%postun always called "update-alternatives --remove",
# because it incorrectly assumed that test -f returns false for symbolic links.)
# The only possible remedy to fix the mistake that "always removes on upgrade"
# made by the older %%postun script, is to repair it in %%posttrans of the new package.
# Strategy:
# %%posttrans is never called when uninstalling.
# %%posttrans is only called when installing or upgrading a package.
# Because %%posttrans is the very last action of a package install,
# %%{_libdir}/libnssckbi.so must exist.
# If it does not, it's the result of the incorrect removal from a broken %%postun.
# In this case, we repeat installation of the alternatives link.
if ! test -e %{_libdir}/libnssckbi.so; then
  %{_sbindir}/update-alternatives --install %{_libdir}/libnssckbi.so \
    %{alt_ckbi} %{_libdir}/nss/libnssckbi.so 10
fi

Can this be done as part of the nss 3.18 rebase?
