Description Alexander Todorov 2008-10-30 07:43:23 UTC

Description of problem:
rpm -V fails after upgrade. Missing .pyc files

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-kickstart-2.6.19.8-1.el5.noarch.rpm  	

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. on a 5.2 system install system-config-kickstart
2. upgrade to 5.3 version of system-config-kickstart
3.
  
Actual results:
/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/*.pyc files are removed

Expected results:
Files are updated

Additional info:
The rpm package contains this scriptlet

preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ -d /usr/share/system-config-kickstart ] ; then
  rm -rf /usr/share/system-config-kickstart/*.pyc
fi


Additionally the .pyc files don't appear in the %files section in the spec file. The spec file doesn't seem to fully conform to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2008-10-30 14:54:27 UTC

Simple to fix, assuming we can still fix these sorts of things for 5.3.

Comment 3 Alexander Todorov 2008-10-30 15:43:02 UTC

Chris,
system-config-samba had the same issue and they removed the offending script in the 5.3 package. However this will probably need to be release noted.

Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2008-10-31 18:12:06 UTC

This should be fixed in system-config-kickstart-2.6.19.8-2.

Comment 7 Alexander Todorov 2008-11-07 16:29:45 UTC

s-c-kickstart is fixed now but the issue is in the older version. 

yum remove system-config-kickstart && yum install-system-config-kickstart makes it verify again. 

Does this need a release note?
