Description Mike A. Harris 2007-11-10 11:38:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
I just installed galeon with "yum install galeon" and noticed that its
postinstall scriptlet displays stuff to stderr that should be redirected to
/dev/null:

gconfd-2: no process killed


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
galeon-2.0.3-13.fc8


How reproducible:
I've only done it once, and haven't tried to reproduce it, however it should be
100% reproduceable so long as the conditions are met that cause the errors to be
displayed to stderr.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure galeon is not already installed on your system.
2. Make sure gconfd-2 is not running currently.
3. "yum install galeon"
  
Actual results:

Running Transaction
  Installing: galeon                       ######################### [1/1]
gconfd-2: no process killed

Installed: galeon.x86_64 0:2.0.3-13.fc8
Complete!


Additional info:
The correct fix for this problem is to redirect stderr and stdout to /dev/null
on any commands in the script(s) that we don't want to see any errors about
during installation.  I'll attach a suggested fix shortly.

patch to clean up rpm scriptlets for galeon.spec

Here's a patch to clean up the scriptlets, not yet tested, but it should work. 
All I've done is enclose each script within braces and perform stderr/stdout
redirection on the collective, as well as discarding the return code of the
collective.

I'm building a test package and will give an update when I've tested it.

Fixed in CVS thanks.
