Was the previous one backed up as rpmsave/rpmnew? >Was the previous one backed up as rpmsave/rpmnew?
No it was not, that is what cost us a bit of time in the first place.
It took
a while to figure out that we got the default file from the RPM and
that it
wasn't our postinstall procedure that did this. I didn't have a look
at the
source rpm, but my guess is that something is amiss there.
If I can, I will do some more testing tommorow (I'm in the
Netherlands), but
it should be fairly simple to reproduce this.
Anyway, thanks for you interest.

Are you *replacing* or adding, and are you doing this to /etc/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.local? >Are you *replacing* or adding We're appending entries (thus "adding") to the original (first) file. Do you have any replacement logic scripted? (didn't see it with rpm -q --scripts --triggers...) Anyway, it remains why you would want to fuzz around with rc.local at all. >and are you doing this to /etc/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.local (ofcourse ;) ) As I said, I'll see if we can get some more debug information tommorow, but I really don't think it is the post-install code. (The entire install/install-check procedure takes about one and a half hour [we're using nfs over 100Mbit ethernet]), so naive debugging is a bit slow ;) ) Thanks, Jeroen rc.local is marked: %config(noreplace) /etc/rc.d/rc.local So, it *shouldn't* be getting replaced, and I'm somewhat confused as to how/why it would be. >So, it *shouldn't* be getting replaced, and I'm somewhat confused as

Hmm, I was kind of hoping for a "silly me" reaction here ;)
OK, being as it is, I'll try to isolate this further (quadruple check our
scripting logic, and dump the files at certain points and then see
what is doing this.). I'll take a look at the source RPM as well (should
have done that in the first place)
I'll get back to you if I find the answer (or have an "easy"" and
deterministic test case)
Thanks again,
Jeroen
I just did a test FC3 install here, booted, and then did: 1) 'echo #blah blah blah' >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local 2) rpm -Fvh initscripts-7.93.5-1.i386.rpm It worked fine, and preserved my changes to rc.local. Closing this issue, as I was never able to reproduce this. If you can get a reliable reproduce, please reopen. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: MSIE 6.0; Windows XP <edit><-- That's a lie ;)</edit> Description of problem: Hi, During our kickstart install post-script we append some lines to the rc.local script. These are replaced by an update of initscripts by the default initscripts version. Is it not the very nature of rc.local that the are _local_. I.e. that any rpm should not touch this script (if it is not present a -f test will fail anyway...) In short: why does the initscripts rpm install a non-empty rc.local file (it's contents could be appended to, say, rc.sysinit.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.93.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install original initscripts 2.append to rc.local 3.update to the 7.93.5-1 version Actual Results: Got the rc.local provided by initscripts 7.93.5-1 Expected Results: Should have kept my rc.local Additional info:
