Description abozhenko 2020-06-01 18:07:48 UTC

Description of problem:
When exim is included to the list of packages to be installed on fresh system instillation(in kickstart) it fails because '/bin/sh' dependency can not be satisfied.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
exim-4.93-3.el7.x86_64.rpm


How reproducible: Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
To reproduce the bug, just try to install exim in a clean rpm database on machine running Centos 7:
1. rpmdb --initdb --root /reproducer
2. yum --config /etc/yum.conf --installroot=/reproducer install  https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7Server/x86_64/Packages/e/exim-4.93-3.el7.x86_64.rpm 

Actual results:
Installation fails with the following error message:
Running transaction check
ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:
/bin/sh is needed by exim-4.93-3.el7.x86_64
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


Expected results:
Installation succeeds. Latest exim rpm that was working in this scenario was https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/e/exim-4.92.3-1.el7.x86_64.rpm


Additional info:
This is happening because spec file for recent exim rpms started to use %pretrans scriptlet.

If this section of the spec file is commented out, then it starts to work:
%pretrans
## Workaround for rhbz#1791878
if [ -d %{_docdir}/exim/doc/cve-2019-13917 ]; then
  rm -f %{_docdir}/exim/doc/cve-2019-13917/*
  rmdir %{_docdir}/exim/doc/cve-2019-13917
fi

According to this:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Scriptlets/#pretrans
pretrans must not use sh.

Latest version of spec file that doesn't use 'pretrans' can be found at:
https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7/SRPMS/Packages/e/exim-4.92.3-1.el7.src.rpm
