Description Alexandre Oliva 2004-08-26 18:01:46 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2)
Gecko/20040809

Description of problem:
After an upgrade from the previous release, pre-existing
caching-nameserver files in /var/named, as well as their counterparts
in /var/named/chroot/var/named, became broken soft-links. 
Reinstalling the package atop of itself doesn't, so I suppose this may
have been a bug in the previous release uninstall scripts, but the
newer release still creates  .rpmsave files for every file it
installed, which sounds bad.

In fact, since at least /etc/named.conf is a configuration file, it
should not be changed, and the new should be installed as .rpmnew.  As
for the zone files, they might very well be overwritten, but we
shouldn't get .rpmsave files if the files haven't changed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
caching-nameserver-7.3-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Upgrade an everything install of FC3test1 to rawhide
2.Clean up mess introduced by bind/bind-chroot/caching-nameserver
update, removing all of caching-nameserver files in the chroot, and
the symlinks outside, and the .rpmsave files
3.Reinstall caching-nameserver (rpm -U --replacepkgs)
4.Repeat 3.

Actual Results:  After the upgrade, named breaks because zone files in
the chroot have become soft links to themselves.  After the first
reinstall, everything works fine.  After the second reinstall, lots of
.rpmsave files and links are created that IMHO shouldn't.

Expected Results:  Upgrade shouldn't break config files, shouldn't
create soft links pointing to themselves.  Reinstall of a package
without modified files shouldn't create .rpmsave nor .rpmnew.

Comment 1 Jason Vas Dias 2004-08-26 21:05:31 UTC 
Let's take this step by step:
1. After a CLEAN install of bind-9.2.4rc7-9 :
$ ls -lR /etc/named* /etc/rndc* /var/named
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   230 Aug 25 17:38 /etc/named.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root named 1115 Aug 25 17:32 /etc/rndc.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root named  132 Aug 25 17:36 /etc/rndc.key

/var/named:
total 2
drwxrwx---  2 named named 1024 Aug 25 17:32 data
drwxrwx---  2 named named 1024 Aug 25 17:32 slaves

/var/named/data:
total 0

/var/named/slaves:
total 0
$ cat /etc/named.conf
// Default named.conf generated by install of bind-9.2.4rc7-9
options {
        directory "/var/named";
        dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
        statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
        };
include "/etc/rndc.key";

Now bind installs the bare minimum named.conf required in order
for bind to run, instead of a non-existent or empty named.conf,
which would disable named.

2. Then install bind-chroot (as would happen during clean install
 of all bind packages:
$ rpm -ivh bind-chroot-9.2.4rc7-9.i386.rpm

Now /etc{named.conf, rndc.key} have been moved to /var/named/chroot
etc, and are replaced by links to the new location so as not to 
confuse operators.

3. Now install caching-nameserver:

Now /etc/named.conf, which was a link to
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf, has been backed up by RPM -
NOT the .spec file scripts - to
/etc/named.conf.rpmorig , and a NEW named.conf is created in the
chroot by the .spec file scripts, which back up the old named.conf
to /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf.rpmsave . 

The new named.conf is required to replace the existing
named.conf, because the caching nameserver will function only
with the new named.conf - not any other. 

There's no way of telling RPM not to back up links (that I know)
or to tell it when backing up links to back up the original (a bug!)
and there's no way (that I know) of telling RPM to use different
%file locations depending on whether another package is installed
or not - it must have one set of destination file locations, which
must be /etc/... and /var/named/... , not the chroot.

So RPM will back up whatever it finds in those locations that it is
about to replace. 

It is thus up to the script to move the newly installed files from
the non-chroot locations to the chroot if the chroot is installed;
if the script is going to overwrite any files in the chroot, it 
saves the original as an rpmsave file.

4. Repeat Installation of caching-nameserver

Now RPM has backed up the links (again) and the scripts have backed
up the real files (again), which they must do because the files
might have been modified between installations, and we can't stop
RPM making the backups. RPM does create more useless copies of links,
but it is still a working configuration, the links all point to the
newly installed regular files, and any old real files are backed up.

5. We can repeat the repeated installation safely:

Now RPM replaces the existing backups, as do the scripts - this
can be repeated ad nauseam with the same results.
But at all times, the configuration is still working !

I don't think this is a bug.

I suppose I could make the %post script remove any .rpmsave or
.rpmorig files which are links to the chroot directory - but users
would be expected RPM to back up their existing files and the links
serve as pointers to where they have been moved.
Comment 2 Alexandre Oliva 2004-08-27 13:06:48 UTC 
Clean installs of the packages individually is very likely to hide the
severe problem I ran into while updating all of bind* and
caching-nameserver in the same transaction.  Since the latter case is
what one would do in practice, I strongly recommend you to try that. 
The problem happened on *all* of 5 boxes I had running rawhide, with
yesterday's upgrade.

Recipe again: 

1. Install old version of bind, bind-chroot and caching-nameserver.
2. Update all of them, at the same time, to the latest versions.
3. Kaboom.
Comment 3 Jason Vas Dias 2004-08-27 23:04:22 UTC 
 I found the cause of this bug, by doing a clean install
 of the older bind-9.2.3-9*, and then upgrading to bind-9.2.4rc7-9*.

 Older versions of bind-chroot, eg. 9.2.3-9, listed 
 /var/named/chroot/etc/{named.conf,rndc.key} in their
 %files list, even though they were installed as empty
 files (this bug has since been fixed).

 So, after the 9.2.3-9 install, we got:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root   762 Feb 15  2004 /etc/named.conf
/var/named/chroot/etc:
total 3
-rw-r--r--  1 root  root  1267 Aug 27 17:36 localtime
-rwxr-x---  1 root  named    0 Mar 24  2003 named.conf
-rw-r-----  1 named named  132 Aug 27 17:36 rndc.key

Then I upgraded everything except the chroot and caching-nameserver
to bind-9.2.4rc7-9*; the named configuration files were then fine.

I then upgraded bind-chroot in rpm debug mode:
rpm -Uvv bind-chroot-9.2.4rc7-9.i386.rpm
The %post script completed fine, leaving all files in their 
correct place, as verified by inspecting the debug log.

But AFTER the %post script of bind-chroot-9.2.4rc7-9 completes,
RPM executes the "erase" of bind-chroot-9.2.3-9, wiping out the
new  bind-chroot-9.2.4rc7-9 install! 

So the RPM debug log has:
 D:   install: %post(bind-chroot-9.2.4rc7-9)     execv(/bin/sh) pid 6972
+... ( %post script of bind-chroot-9.2.4rc7-9 executes, leaving all
        files installed correctly ) ...

RPM has just deleted seven files from bind-chroot-9.2.3-9 that were
just installed by bind-chroot-9.2.4rc7-9!  
After the upgrade completes, none of the seven files exist anymore,
breaking the links to them.

RPM should be deleting the files from bind-chroot-9.2.3-9
BEFORE bind-chroot-9.2.4rc7-9 replaces them, not afterwards.

After the %post script of bind-chroot-9.2.4rc7-9 completes, the
upgrade is in RPM's hands and beyond control of any script in
bind-chroot-9.2.4rc7-9 - so if RPM then deletes the files just
installed, there is nothing bind-chroot-9.2.4rc7-9 can do about it.

I will raise an RPM bug on this issue.
 
If the upgrade of caching-nameserver is then done AFTER the above,
it does supply a working named.conf, but rndc.key (which got deleted
by RPM during the chroot upgrade) is still missing.
Comment 4 Jason Vas Dias 2004-08-30 20:35:06 UTC 
 This is now fixed with bind-9.2.4rc7-10 ,  by adding '%ghost' 
 entries for each file included in previous bind-chroot releases
 that are not included in current bind-chroot release.
Comment 5 Alexandre Oliva 2004-09-04 19:50:29 UTC 
There's still something severely broken in the current rawhide.  After
an `everything' install from scratch,
/var/named/chroot/var/named/named.ca and others are symlinks pointing
to themselves.  Ditto for rawhide updates from previous installs.
Comment 6 Alexandre Oliva 2004-09-05 05:59:21 UTC 
Ugh, nevermind.  My former post-install kickstart fragment to move
files from /var/named to /var/named/chroot/var/named and create soft
links in their stead, from back when caching-nameserver didn't do
this, somehow was getting confused under the new installer environment
(SElinux?), so it ended up overwriting the files correctly installed
by the caching-nameserver in the chroot with the soft links.  I can't
see anything wrong with the fragment below, though, and it worked
before.  Anyhow, not   a bug in caching-nameserver or bind-chroot, so
closing again.  Apologies for the noise.  I'm sure this is a different
problem from the one I reported earlier, since earlier problems were
not for anaconda installs, only up2date/rpm updates, and this
scriptlet wasn't involved.

NAMEDDIR=/var/named/chroot/
 if test -d ${NAMEDDIR}var/named; then
  for f in localhost.zone named.ca named.local; do
    if test -f /var/named/$f && test ! -f ${NAMEDDIR}var/named; then
      ln -f /var/named/$f ${NAMEDDIR}var/named/$f ||
      cp -p /var/named/$f ${NAMEDDIR}var/named/$f
    fi
  done
 fi
 if test -d ${NAMEDDIR}etc; then
