Changing component to RPM. This is actually a packaging bug, in linuxconf AFAICT, which should have had a Requires: libncurses.so.4 that prevented that library soname from being removed, which caused unexpected scriptlet failure, which leads to duplicate entries in the rpmdb. Off to linuxconf for further analysis, bounce back to rpm if you still think it's an rpm "bug" ... Closing because we don't ship linuxconf anymore Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i586) Description of problem: I just upgraded from RH 6.2 to RH 7.1, and while the upgrade went smoothly for the most part, I noticed that afterwards there were *two* sendmail packages installed -- the old one was still there along with the new one. In other words: [root@marvin upgrade]# rpm -q -a | grep sendmail-8 sendmail-8.11.2-14 sendmail-8.9.3-20 Looking back at the upgrade log, I found this sequence of messages: Upgrading sendmail. /bin/linuxconf: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory /etc/aliases created as /etc/aliases.rpmnew /etc/sendmail.cf saved as /etc/sendmail.cf.rpmsave execution of %trigger scriptlet from linuxconf-1.17r2-6 failed, exit status 127 In fact, the same thing happened with the apache package -- similar messages in the log, and duplicate packages in the rpm database. Finally, even though it wasn't upgraded as part of the installer/upgrade, I've also got duplicate "faq" and "howto" packages. Perhaps this is a bug in rpm rather than anaconda? How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. I really don't want to go through an entire upgrade again!?! 2. 3. Additional info:
