Description Flags
patch to the portreserve spec file to include chkconfig to Requires(post) and Requires(preun) mkpai: review?

Description Jan Stodola 2011-06-10 12:37:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
portreserve runs '/sbin/chkconfig' in its installation scriplets, but the
package doesn't depend on chkconfig:

[root@rtt6 ~]# rpm --nogpg -q --scripts -p rpms/portreserve-0.0.4-4.el6.s390x.rpm | grep chkconfig
/sbin/chkconfig --add portreserve
  /sbin/chkconfig --del portreserve
[root@rtt6 ~]# rpm -qf /sbin/chkconfig
chkconfig-1.3.47-1.el6.s390x
[root@rtt6 ~]# rpm --nogpg -q --requires -p rpms/portreserve-0.0.4-4.el6.s390x.rpm | grep chkconfig
[root@rtt6 ~]#


It causes error messages in some cases:
...
  Installing : ncurses-libs-5.7-3.20090208.el6.s390x                      10/12
