Description Jan Stodola 2011-06-21 08:07:11 UTC

Description of problem:
gpxe-roms-qemu runs '/usr/sbin/update-alternatives' in its installation
scriplet, but the package doesn't depend on chkconfig:

[root@ibm-hs21-12 test_rpms]# rpm -q --scripts -p rpms/gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-8.el5.x86_64.rpm 
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install /usr/share/qemu-pxe-roms \
  qemu-pxe-roms /usr/share/gpxe 10
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 -eq 0 ] ; then
  /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --remove qemu-pxe-roms /usr/share/gpxe
fi


# %ifarch i386 i486 i586 i686 pentium3 pentium4 athlon geode x86_64
[root@ibm-hs21-12 test_rpms]# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/update-alternatives
chkconfig-1.3.30.2-2.el5
[root@ibm-hs21-12 test_rpms]# rpm -q --requires -p rpms/gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-8.el5.x86_64.rpm 
/bin/sh  
/bin/sh  
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
[root@ibm-hs21-12 test_rpms]#


It causes error messages in some cases:
...
