Description Jason Taylor 2011-02-05 16:12:10 UTC
Description of problem:
When installing the package from yum, it dependency installs Tomcat6. However, when an instance is created with pkicreate it is linked against Tomcat5 and consequently fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Install and create using the default template from pkicreate -h. It will error indicating that it can't find a Tomcat5 relink script.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install pki-ca
2. run pkicreate using the template in the help (pkicreate -h)
3.
  
Actual results: The pki-ca instance created will fail to start


Expected results: The configuration console/port will be listening and accept requests to continue the configuration using the pin that is given.

Comment 1 Matthew Harmsen 2011-03-07 23:21:38 UTC
Not certain which version of Dogtag was attempting to be installed,
but the crux of the problem may be a mixing of versions of
Dogtag components specifically on the Fedora 14 platform.

Besides continuing to be a number of standalone PKI servers, portions
of Dogtag (notably the CA) have been undergoing integration with FreeIPA v2,
and had been proceeding following this plan:

Fedora 13:
* IPA 1.2
* Dogtag 1.3
* CA, KRA, OCSP, and TKS all use Tomcat 5
* all Dogtag RPM packages can be built as independent SRPMS using ant
* 'pki.fedoraproject.org' Wiki generally describes this version of the product

Fedora 14:
* IPA 1.2
* Dogtag 1.3 (rolled over from Fedora 13)

Fedora 15:
* FreeIPA v2
* Dogtag 9.0 (re-numbered to better sync with versions of RHCS)
* CA, KRA, OCSP, and TKS all use Tomcat 6
* several Dogtag RPM packages can be built within a single SRPM using CMake
* CA is comprised of the 'osutil', 'dogtag-pki-theme', and 'pki-core' SRPMS
* KRA, OCSP, and TKS are individual RPM packages built from independent SRPMS using CMake
* 'pki.fedoraproject.org' Wiki has not yet been brought up to date to
  address these new features

Unfortunately, a number of issues have arisen regarding the use
of Dogtag 1.3 on the Fedora 14 platform including:

* the renaming of third party packages and jars that occurred between
  Fedora 13 and Fedora 14 resulting in broken/missing information
  (e. g. - jakarta-commons-lang --> apache-commons-lang,
           jakara-commons-logging --> apache-commons-logging)
* the release of specific Dogtag 9.0 packages on the Fedora 14 platform
  for the express purpose of working with a beta version of FreeIPA v2
* this led to confusion regarding the inclusion of some lower-level
  packages which required Tomcat 6 instead of Tomcat 5
  (e. g. - tomcatjss 2.0.0 which requires tomcat6)

Additionally, Dogtag 9.0 does not necessarily run on Fedora 14
for the following reason:

* no official Dogtag 9.0 RPMS exist in Koji for Fedora 14
* although Dogtag 9.0 RPMS could be built locally via the
  subversion repository, they may not be able to run successfully
  due to problems created during updates to Tomcat 6 (currently
  being fixed)
* finally, Fedora 15 Dogtag 9.0 RPMS can NOT be used on Fedora 14
  due to an SELinux incompatibility (Fedora 15 RPMS require a
  version of SELinux which is not available on Fedora 14) 

The best suggestion at the present time would be to use Dogtag 1.3
on Fedora 13, or choose to run Dogtag 9.0 on Fedora 15 alpha.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 22:26:07 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
