Description of problem: During a kickstart install, the postinstall scriptlet of dpkg fails and causes anaconda to abort, because executables in the scriptlet have not yet been installed. Version-Release number of selected component: dpkg-1.18.24-6.f28 How reproducible: Depends on package selection. Steps to Reproduce: It is difficult to specify a package selection that will produce the bug. But an examination of the dpkg.spec file will show that the following executables are invoked, but there is no Requires(post) to ensure that they are installed prior to being needed: touch chmod chown Actual results: anaconda fails with a popup error message re POSTIN scriptlet failure. Expected results: Successful installation. Additional info: This addition to the spec file fixes the problem: Requires(post): coreutils An alternative is to add these three: Requires(post): /bin/touch Requires(post): /bin/chmod Requires(post): /bin/chown
