Description Christian Krause 2007-11-19 23:07:50 UTC
Description of problem:

the integrity check for the fonts-KOI8-R-* packages reports modified files:

"rpm -V fonts-KOI8-R-1.0-10.fc8 fonts-KOI8-R-100dpi-1.0-10.fc8
fonts-KOI8-R-75dpi-1.0-10.fc8":
S.5....T   /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/misc/fonts.dir
S.5....T   /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/100dpi/fonts.dir
S.5....T   /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/75dpi/fonts.dir

Although this is not a big problem, rpm -V should not report changes in files
which are changed automatically on purpose (like fonts.dir, ...).

Other font packages have solved the problem e.g. using something like this in
the %files section (

%{fontdir}/*.ttf
%verify(not md5 size mtime) %{fontdir}/fonts.dir
%verify(not md5 size mtime) %{fontdir}/fonts.scale

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
e.g. fonts-KOI8-R-100dpi-1.0-10.fc8

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 08:35:18 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Christian Krause 2008-12-07 17:03:25 UTC
I've seen this problem in F10, too. I've attached a patch to the spec file which should solve the problem in a similar way the other fonts packages did:

e.g.
%verify(not md5 size mtime) %{bmpfontdir}/fonts.alias

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 06:01:13 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
