[PATCH] seamonkey.spec: fix path name in mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl
Here is a patch against seamonkey.spec that should fix the path name in
mozilla-resbuild-databases.pl
Please confirm that this will restore the desired behavior as Red Hat sees it.
This breaks seamonkey-mail (and pretty much any other seamonkey-* addon that runs mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl in %post scriptlets). Thanks wingc for the detective-work, I can vouge that running: sed -i -e "s|/usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.5|/usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.5|g" \ /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.5/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.5/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl makes things work again. FYI, bug still present in seamonkey-1.0.6 update/release. Patch is provided, should be a no-brainer. Created attachment 142184 [details]
proposed patch
Confirmed problem still present in seamonkey-1.0.7-0.1.el4 The same in Fedora Core now :( This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. fixed in seamonkey-1.0.8-0.1.el4 |
Description of problem: The 'mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl' script, which is called in %post for the 'seamonkey' RPM, has an incorrect path. The script uses a path such as (on x86_64): /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.0.3 but the actual path containing the files in the seamonkey RPM is: /usr/lib64/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.3/ As a result, the 'mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl' script has no effect. It is unclear whether or not this is a bad thing. Previous releases of the 'mozilla' package from Red Hat always ran this script after installation. Note also that some of the files which this script regenerates such as: /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.0.3/chrome/overlayinfo /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.0.3/chrome/*.rdf /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.0.3/component.reg /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.0.3/components/compreg.dat /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.0.3/components/xpti.dat /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.0.3/chrome/lang/installed-chrome.txt are also packaged in the RPM. As a result, after the script is run (on previous versions of the 'mozilla' RPM), the contents of these files are modified and/or deleted. Therefore, attempting to do a RPM verify will show errors and missing files. Perhaps the RPM package should be changed to either not include these files (those which are automatically regenerated by mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl), or else they should be marked as %config or the like. I will defer this question to mozilla experts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): seamonkey-1.0.3-0.el4.1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install 'seamonkey' package from RHEL4-U4 2. note that 'mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl' script run in %post has no effect, because it is using an incorrect path name. Actual results: The mozilla databases in, e.g.: /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.3 are not regenerated. (which is what I would expect based on previous 'mozilla' RPMs from Red Hat, prior to the mozilla -> seamonkey upgrade in RHEL4-U4) Expected results: I assume that the mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl script should have regenerated these files. (Red Hat mozilla experts please answer) Additional info:
