Description Jeff Needle 2011-09-08 12:23:57 UTC

Description of problem:

On a system with the hardlink package installed, logic in the postinstall attempts to hardlink some files, but due to a typo, calls "tardlink".  This results in 

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.FKBb1Y: line 9: tardlink: command not found

repeated 14840 times, which is ugly, at best.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-rt-*-2.6.33.9-rt31.75.el6rt.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install hardlink
2. yum install kernel-rt
3. watch
  
Actual results:
Zillions of errors

Expected results:
No errors

Additional info:
After discussion, the hardlink logic was deemed to not be useful and should be removed completely, which will certainly fix the typo.
