This is known and fixed in yum upstream and in F9. It's unclear whether or not we'll backport at this time. thx for the quick feedback, I guess we'll have to figure out a way to simply avoid using %pretrans in the short-term. As a general rule avoid %pretrans, %postrans and triggers. they are painful. Especially %pretrans. Because it's hard to run a script in an empty chroot... I know all that, but %pretrans was the only/best way to work around some borkage in our local/site packages. I'll deal. :) Part of the reason why %pretrans and %posttrans are painful is that they're used so little that bugs like this don't get caught early on. For some things %pretrans is really the one and only possibility atm and the empty chroot doesn't matter as long as the embedded lua interpreter is used instead of /bin/sh or such, and script is careful not assume things that might not be there. yum 3.2.19 in f8 updates-testing fixes this problem. |
