Description Gary Benson 2005-05-06 12:50:30 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050416 Fedora/1.0.3-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.3

Description of problem:
I have a bunch of packages with %post and %postun scriptlets like this:

  %post
  rebuild-gcj-db %{_libdir}

  %postun
  rebuild-gcj-db %{_libdir}

rebuild-gcj-db comes from java-1.4.2-gcj-compat, and has existed since 1.4.2.0-40jpp_16rh, so I have the following:

  Requires(post,postun): java-1.4.2-gcj-compat >= 1.4.2.0-40jpp_16rh

If I install a bunch of packages including java-1.4.2-gcj-compat and packages I get these errors:

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try and install that bunch of rpms (all from /mnt/redhat/rel-eng/FC4-re0505.0)


Actual Results:  I got the error messages shown above.

Expected Results:  java-1.4.2-gcj-compat should have been installed before any of the packages that required it to be.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Paul Nasrat 2005-05-06 13:01:03 UTC
What rpm version?

Does rpm 4.4.1-18.1 from rawhide work as anticipated.

Comment 2 Gary Benson 2005-05-06 13:04:41 UTC
Apologies, rpm-4.3.2-21.

Will it break my (FC3) box if I install FC4t3's rpm on it?

Comment 3 Paul Nasrat 2005-05-06 14:54:50 UTC
Yeah, do you not have a rawhide box?

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=155700

I'll consider this a request to back port for fc3.

Comment 4 Gary Benson 2005-05-06 15:02:51 UTC
If it works in rawhide then that's cool.  Don't backport it on my behalf ;)
