Description Bruce Jerrick 2010-09-11 07:27:23 UTC

Description of problem:
When installing F14, the 'fedora-release-notes' postinstall scriptlet will
fail unless 'coreutils' happens to get installed first -- the scriptlet uses
'touch' but has no Requires(post) for that.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fedora-release-notes-13.2-1.fc14.noarch

How reproducible:
Will depend on the order of package installation.  I see it with both
a small (713 package) and large (2743 package) installation.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F14, including the 'fedora-release-notes' package (and as little
   else as is feasible).
2. grep -A1 "Installing fedora-release-notes" /root/install.log

Actual results:
If 'coreutils' got installed after 'fedora-release-notes' (which may well
happen):

  Installing fedora-release-notes-13.2-1.fc14.noarch
  /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.kVBnIU: line 2: touch: command not found

Expected results:
No "command not found" error message.

Additional info:
This is a handy idiom to ferret out installation errors:

  grep -B1 -v '^Installing' /root/install.log

Comment 1 Jesse Keating 2010-09-13 15:47:47 UTC

neat.  Just needs a Requires(post): on coreutils.

Comment 2 Jesse Keating 2010-09-13 15:50:10 UTC

eek, unmarking assigned, I thought this was fedora-release and not fedora-release-notes.

Comment 3 John J. McDonough 2010-09-13 16:57:09 UTC

I'll go ahead and deal with this.  I want d-p-r to do this right.
