Description Jan Pazdziora 2015-06-22 11:38:46 UTC

Description of problem:

The new version of krb5-server seems to require ksh. Since it's the only package of FreeIPA suite and older versions did not require it, I'd consider it a regression.

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

krb5-server-1.13.2-3.fc22

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install FreeIPA server
2. Run rpm -q --requires krb5-server | grep ksh | wc -l

Actual results:

1

Expected results:

0

Additional info:

Package krb5-server-1.13.1-3.fc22.x86_64 did not require ksh.

Comment 1 Roland Mainz 2015-06-22 12:17:00 UTC

The rpm dependency to ksh was added since upstream scripts use $"..."-style l10n literals for localisation (IPA should use them too because it's convenient and MICH faster/resource-friendly (which has measureable impact on platforms like ARM/ARM64)).
But then I did the prototype Zanata integration I hit a bug in bash4 which causes problems.
So my choices were:
1. fix bash
2. drop any attempt to localise scripts (which will be a major problem for other Zanata users in RHEL/Fedora in the future; krb5 is only a minor piece in this case)
3. rewrite them in python (which is not going to be acceptable for upstream because of the new runtime dependency AND having a very heavyweight python interpreter running at start-up for no good reason)
4. Use ksh as intermediate solution (because it works right *now* without further work (and I have the proof via http://svn.nrubsig.org/svn/people/gisburn/scripts/tests/sun_solaris_script_l10n.sh))

So what should I do ?

What is the bash bugzilla number?

I haven't filed one yet because I didn't had time to port http://svn.nrubsig.org/svn/people/gisburn/scripts/tests/sun_solaris_script_l10n.sh (this is a AST/ksh93 test suite module to test the $"..."-style literals) to bash4.
Basically some combinations of { LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, LANG } (e.g. LC_ALL should override any LC_MESSAGES setting and any LC_MESSAGES setting should override LANG) throw you back to "C" (and NLSPATH must work, too), plus dynamic changes don't work (which must work).
Said that it's not hard to fix, I did this years ago at Sun for ksh93 (after that I wrote the test module and submitted it to David Korn so I don't have to re-visit this bug again) and bash3... but I need *TIME* (estimated a work day) ... ;-/

The Fedora 22 build looks sane but can you file update request for updates-testing in bodhi?
