This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. |
Created attachment 1312372 [details] patch that fixes the problem Description of problem: Just about everytime I run dnf I get to see these messages: abort: path contains illegal component: .hg/undo.backup.dirstate abort: path contains illegal component: .hg/undo.dirstate I finally figured out where they come from. I use etckeeper, and I have configured that to use hg (mercurial). In one of the pre-commit scripts (20warn-problem-files) there is the hg-specific command hardlinks=$(find . -type f ! -links 1 -exec hg status {} \; | exclude_internal ) This command is the cause of the error. The find command finds the files .hg/undo.dirstate and .hg/undo.backup.dirstate (linked to each other) and calls hg status on both. That hg command gives the error message. The intention of the command is to then filter out files in the .hg directory (that's what the exclude_internal filter does), but that is too late. The solution is to do have find do the filtering, like in all other places find is called by the etckeeper scripts. This is what the enclosed patch does. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): etckeeper-1.18.5-3.fc26.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.install etckeeper, configure for mercurial, initialize 2.run a dnf install or dnf remove 3.another one if the first one didn't produce the error Actual results: In the otherwise correct output: abort: path contains illegal component: .hg/undo.backup.dirstate abort: path contains illegal component: .hg/undo.dirstate Expected results: No abort messages.
