Don't do that. Well, as smart as that answer/solution was, there SEEMS to be a problem WHEN this variable is set, --and-- it seems to BE in the kickstart environment. I was attempting to pre-load a kernel update within kickstart and this SAME error occured. I would have had no idea the cause it it wasn't for this post of Jay Pharis. Thanks! |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I had set POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 in /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc. When I ran up2date to install the latest kernels, mkinitrd fails with the following: awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: match: third argument is a gawk extension awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: match: third argument is a gawk extension awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: match: third argument is a gawk extension awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: match: third argument is a gawk extension awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: match: third argument is a gawk extension awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: match: third argument is a gawk extension awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: match: third argument is a gawk extension awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: match: third argument is a gawk extension In addition, unless the env variable _POSIX2_VERSION is set to some other value (I used 199209), also get the following tail error from mkinitrd: tail: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1' Try `tail --help' for more information. I created a support request with this information, 452082. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set the env variables listed above 2. run up2date, or just mkinitrd 3. profit Actual Results: see above Additional info:
