Description Jens Petersen 2024-07-03 06:57:52 UTC 
Frequently when updating or installing packages with dnf5 I see these warnings:

>>> Running trigger-install scriptlet: glibc-common-0:2.39.9000-26.fc41.x86_64warning: posix.fork(): .fork(), .exec(), .wait() and .redirect2null() are deprecated, use rpm.execute() instead
warning: posix.wait(): .fork(), .exec(), .wait() and .redirect2null() are deprecated, use rpm.execute() instead
warning: posix.exec(): .fork(), .exec(), .wait() and .redirect2null() are deprecated, use rpm.execute() instead

Is this coming from dnf5 or glibc?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run dnf update in rawhide

Actual Results:  
Running trigger-install scriptlet: glibc-common-0:2.39.9000-26.fc41.x86_64 warning: posix.fork(): .fork(), .exec(), .wait() and .redirect2null() are deprecated, use rpm.execute() instead

Expected Results:  
No warnings

Do not happen in F40

The message originates in the rpm (see PR https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/2948), but is caused by glibc scriptlets which use deprecated functionality.
Re-assigning to glibc for further actions.
