This problem affects both the tcl and tk packages in RHEL-3.  Easy fix.  Both
packages get a "Requires(post): coreutils".

Adding to the RHEL-8 U8 Proposed list.
Comment 2 Brian Long 2006-03-23 20:39:49 UTC 
RHEL 8 seems like a long time to wait for this fix  ;-)
Comment 3 David Cantrell 2006-03-23 20:41:56 UTC 
You're right.  I meant RHEL-3 U8.
Comment 10 David Cantrell 2006-03-24 19:22:17 UTC 
Can the customer provide the kickstart file used for this installation?

Comment 12 David Cantrell 2006-03-29 15:18:56 UTC 
The install.log file shows several scriplet failures due to missing prereqs. 
Most of those look like Cisco packages.  But there are a number of RHEL base
packages that are not installed early on like they should be.

The kickstart file mentions two package groups that don't exist in RHEL: ECS
Desktop and Lab Tools.  If the comps.xml file has been modified, it's possible
an ordering problem was introduced there.
Comment 13 Brian Long 2006-03-29 15:45:15 UTC 
What I don't understand is why I see coreutils installed before tcl, but tcl
complains "ln" is not found.  This is my only concern at the moment.
