Description Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2022-02-16 09:29:36 UTC

Description of problem:
$ dnf install --installroot=… reports error in scriptlets:

  Installing       : util-linux-core-2.38-0.2.fc36.x86_64  142/166 
  Running scriptlet: util-linux-core-2.38-0.2.fc36.x86_64  142/166 
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.97khRx: line 2: ln: command not found

If it can't be rewritten in lua, then please at least redirect all
errors to /dev/null.

util-linux-core doesn't declare a dependency on coretuils, so ln not being
there is totally expected. But more dependencies in basic tools is a bad thing,
please don't add it. I hope nothing using /etc/mtab, so silently
skipping the creation of the symlink should be OK too.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-core-2.38-0.2.fc36.x86_64

How reproducible:
deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf install --releasever=rawhide --repo=fedora --installroot=/var/tmp/f36-test3 --nogpgcheck --setopt install_weak_deps=True rpm systemd systemd-resolved

Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2022-04-06 15:31:18 UTC

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/util-linux/pull-request/11 was handling this,
and was merged. So this should be fixed soon, if not already.

Thanks, Zbigniew for all the help! :-)
