Description Dan Hollis 2005-06-28 23:23:22 UTC

Description of problem:
several RPMs require /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers in their %postun, but
said RPMs do not list this as a dependency.

thus it is possible to eg rpm -e jpackage-utils and
/usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers will disappear. then it becomes difficult to
rpm -e these other packages because they error out trying to call a nonexistent
/usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers in their %postun.

it is possible to rpm -e these broken rpms with --noscripts, but meh. it
shouldnt be needed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpm -e jpackage-utils
2.rpm -e (various other java packages)
3.join communist party
  
Actual results:
profit! :-(

Expected results:
It should uninstall them without barfing (or rather, trying to remove
jpackage-utils should whine that it would break dependencies in other packages
due to their dependency on /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers)

Comment 1 Matthieu Pupat 2005-07-03 11:53:14 UTC

confirmed with:

java-1.4.2-gcj-compat
gnu-crypto
jessie


Same problem with update-desktop-database for:

openoffice.org-core
redhat-menus

Comment 2 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2005-10-01 21:40:04 UTC

Yes, I plan to create a separate java-gcj-compat-scripts package that includes
/usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers.  Then packages that use
rebuild-security-providers can require this -scripts package.

Please file separate bug reports against openoffice.org-core and redhat-menus.

Comment 3 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2006-02-04 01:12:33 UTC

java-1.4.2-gcj-compat, gnu-crypto and jessie now contain these Requires lines:

Requires(post): jpackage-utils >= 0:1.6.3-1jpp_1rh
Requires(postun): jpackage-utils >= 0:1.6.3-1jpp_1rh

rebuild-security-providers was introduced in jpackage-utils-1.6.3-1jpp_1rh. 
Closing.
