Description Orion Poplawski 2011-05-17 17:30:17 UTC

Description of problem:

From install.log:

Installing filesystem-2.4.40-1.fc15.x86_64
warning: group mail does not exist - using root
Installing fedora-release-rawhide-15-1.noarch
Installing fedora-release-15-1.noarch
Installing setup-2.8.31-2.fc15.noarch

# rpm -V filesystem
......G..    /var/spool/mail
# ls -ld /var/spool/mail
drwxrwxr-x. 2 root root 4096 May 17 09:26 /var/spool/mail

I'm guessing you would need a Requires(pre): setup but I don't know if this would screw up other ordering.

Actually looks like this dependency was removed since filesystem-2.4.35-1.fc14.i686, but I don't see any notes about it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
filesystem-2.4.40-1.fc15.x86_64

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2011-05-17 17:36:12 UTC

This commit removed the prereq:

    do /var/lock/subsys directory systemd way via tmpfiles.d conf file, add /run to filesystem (#
692124), minor spec file cleanup (thanks H.Hoyer)

Comment 2 Ondrej Vasik 2011-05-18 05:39:15 UTC

Thanks for heads up, you are right, will fix that soon... I removed versioned Requires(pre), but it should have been left there unversioned... ( https://fedorahosted.org/filesystem/changeset/6c4285262785f6a0aeedc96b3f12b9f334c16a65 ).

Comment 6 Colin Walters 2014-05-05 22:26:29 UTC

Do we still need this dependency?  There's been a huge amount of changes since then.

The problem is that filesystem -> setup -> fedora-release (where the 2nd link is new in Fedora 21), and I'd like to avoid pulling that in for now.

Comment 7 Ondrej Vasik 2014-05-06 11:01:49 UTC

Yes, otherwise the required group will not be on the system at the time of the filesystem package installation. Maybe - I can use the number instead of the group name - but I'm not sure if this is the right way.
