Description Ganesh Sittampalam 2001-05-07 02:52:29 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.4.4 i586; Nav)

Description of problem:
In kernel 2.4.2-2 (also 2.4.3-2.14.10 from rawhide), the kernel-source
binary RPM
does not own the directories /usr/src/linux-2.4.2-2/arch and include
(despite owning directories under these). Since it does own the directory
/usr/src/linux-2.4.2-2 itself, this causes an error that it cannot delete
this directory when removing the RPM.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -ivh kernel-source-foo.rpm
2. rpm -e kernel-source

	

Actual Results:  [ganesh@urchin ganesh]$ sudo rpm -hiv
/archive/redhat/7.1/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm

[ganesh@urchin ganesh]$ sudo rpm -e kernel-source
error: cannot remove /usr/src/linux-2.4.2 - directory not empty


Expected Results:  the final error message should not happen.
