The same "No such process" happened when updating to udev-153-5.fc13.x86_64, with line 17 this time, on one machine but not on another one. Again, /sbin/pidof runs too quickly after kill. |
Description of problem: Updating udev in rawhide effects the following: .... Updating : udev-164-5.fc15.x86_64 6/161 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.B4KK0z: line 14: kill: (373) - No such process ..... That line number strongly suggest that the following loop from preinstall scriptlet is responsible: while [ -n "$pid" ]; do for p in $pid; do kill $hard $p; done pid=$(/sbin/pidof -c udevd) hard="-9" done Smells like a race with /sbin/pidof still seeing udevd after the first 'kill' because udevd takes some time to cleanly terminate. If we do not care then why not to do '... done >/dev/null 2>&1' and shut this up? Another option is to wait a bit before the "pidof" check. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-164-5.fc15
