Comment 1 Edward Sheldrake 2010-11-16 12:56:35 UTC

There's more: the update-gio-modules script doesn't actually work even if it is executable.

The script tests the value of $host but never sets the host variable to anything, so always runs /usr/bin/gio-querymodules-32.

Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2010-11-16 13:17:02 UTC

Hmm, it certainly is 755 on this (rawhide) machine. 
The host thing is a bug, certainly, but the script probably still works ok in %%post, which is the only place where it is likely to be used, since rpm puts host in the environment.

Comment 3 Edward Sheldrake 2010-11-16 13:40:00 UTC

The 755 permissions got fixed in rawhide from some autoqa according to the log, these were applied to the F-14 branch but then reverted due to being comitted to the wrong branch.

I just experimented with printenv and echo $host in a %post scriptlet and it doesn't seem to be set.

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2010-11-16 13:51:04 UTC

I'm actually in favour of getting rid of this script and just doing
gio-querymodules-%{__isa_bits} %{_libdir}/gio/modules
in %post.

I need to write up a proposal for the packaging guidelines for that.

Comment 5 Cristian Ciupitu 2010-12-25 19:14:02 UTC

libxml2 seems to be affected by this bug:

  Erasing        : libxml2-2.7.7-2.fc14.i686             4/8 
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.wI3GUq: line 2: gio-querymodules-32: command not found
warning: %postun(glib2-2.26.0-2.fc14.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 127

Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2011-04-14 22:41:45 UTC

update-gio-modules is gone in F15
