Comment 1 Than Ngo 2007-11-26 17:57:00 UTC

it's the bug in previous version, which printed the warning. It's now fixed in 
which-2.18-3.fc9

Comment 2 Joachim Frieben 2007-11-26 18:12:19 UTC

However, executing 'rpm -Uhv --force which-2.18-3.fc9.x86_64.rpm' after
updating the package still issues this warning.

Comment 3 Than Ngo 2007-11-27 10:14:52 UTC

because the postinstall scriptlet of the previous which version is used!
if you delete which with "rpm -e which" and install it after that you won't 
see this warning.

Comment 4 Joachim Frieben 2007-11-27 23:24:41 UTC

(In reply to comment #3)
I actually do, and this even for which-2.18-4.fc9.

Comment 5 Michal Jaegermann 2007-11-29 02:09:36 UTC

/usr/share/info/which.info.gz is missing close to the beginning
a stanza of that sort:

INFO-DIR-SECTION Basics
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* Which: (which).               Show the full path of (shell) commands.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

The net effect is only a complaint, which is less important,
but 'which' is also not added to info directory and if you will
type 'info' it will not show up among displayed topics.

That is the case for the current rawhide updates.

Comment 6 Michal Jaegermann 2007-11-29 19:33:08 UTC

'rpm -q --changelog which' sports the following:

* Mon Nov 26 2007 Karsten Hopp <karsten> 2.18-3
- add dir entry for info page

Maybe this was an intention but as of which-2.18-5.fc9 this is
still not there so the complaint shows up and no dir entry
after an update.

Comment 7 petrosyan 2008-01-24 21:16:24 UTC

This bug has been fixed in which-2.19 which can be downloaded from

Comment 8 Than Ngo 2008-01-25 10:56:47 UTC

it's fixed in rawhide
