Description Quentin Armitage 2008-07-14 20:38:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
I get the following error on installation of kernel-devel 2.6.26-
136.f10
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.59649: line 12:  : command not found
error: %post(kernel-devel-2.6.26-136.fc10.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 
127

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.26-136.fc10

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.yum install kernel-devel
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Error message given above

Expected results:
No error message

Additional info:
Up to and including kernel-2.6.26-0.131.fc9.git9.fc10 I didn't get the error 
messages.
Version of rpm installed: rpm-4.4.2.3-2.fc9.i386. (I haven't yet updated rpm to
4.5.90-0.git8426.6 due to dependency failures. I will file a separate bug for that.

I attach a new /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.59649. It is not easy to catch since it only
exists for a few milli-seconds.

There appears to be a stray \x19 (^Y) character at end of the file (line 12)

See bug 455307 for original details.

Comment 2 Quentin Armitage 2008-07-14 22:02:25 UTC 
Problem still occurs with rpm version rpm-4.5.90-0.git8426.6.i386
Comment 3 sangu 2008-07-14 23:06:23 UTC 
This issue happens in rpm-4.4.2.3-2.fc9.i386, too.
Comment 4 Panu Matilainen 2008-07-15 07:01:11 UTC 
Ok, there IS a stray character at the last line of the script in that package,
shell is going to barf on that no matter what rpm version you try with. It's a
build/macro expansion issue with the new rpm, off-by-one somewhere or similar.
Doesn't seem to be reliably reproducable (haven't been able to reproduce it yet)
so it might be hard to find, but I'll look into it.

Comment 6 Panu Matilainen 2008-07-15 17:49:09 UTC 
This should be fixed in rpm-4.5.90-0.git8426.8 which just finished building.
Again, note it's a build-, not run-time issue so you wont see any change until a
new kernel package is built with the fixed rpm.
