Description Eric Blake 2011-09-15 16:44:27 UTC
Description of problem:
The %postinstall of libvirt-client was written in F14, and never updated to F15/F16 systemd days.  Therefore, it is calling old command lines, which issue some scary-looking noise during the course of installation via yum.  Meanwhile, the libvirt package %postinstall issues a failure message about cgconfig, now that cgroups are managed differently.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-client-0.9.4-1.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install libvirt-client
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
  Installing : libvirt-client-0.9.4-1.fc16.x86_64                         14/15 

Note: This output shows SysV services only and does not include native
      systemd services. SysV configuration data might be overridden by native
      systemd configuration.

  Installing : libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc16.x86_64                                15/15 
error reading information on service cgconfig: No such file or directory


Expected results:
These two packages should successfully install without leaking either message.

Comment 2 Eric Blake 2011-09-21 18:00:51 UTC
0.9.5 now includes this, which needs to be backported to F15:

    spec: silence warnings when installing in F16
    
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738725 documents that
    'yum install libvirt' in Fedora 16 is rather noisy.  This fixes
    the problems.
    
    * libvirt.spec.in (%post client): Silence chkconfig warning about
    SysV services.
    (%post) [with_cgconfig]: Drop for Fedora 15 and newer, where
    systemd does this automatically.

Comment 7 Eric Blake 2011-09-26 20:32:05 UTC
Moving back to POST - F16 needs to include this patch for virt-preview to work in F15 (otherwise, virt-preview will fail to set up cgroups, since F15 does not benefit from systemd doing it automatically):

Comment 11 zhoutaomtv 2011-11-14 05:42:18 UTC
The issue is still exist under F16 stable version.
libvirt-0.9.6-2.fc16 still show the same warning message.

Problem have still persist. See screenshot.

Comment 14 Eric Blake 2011-12-08 19:42:04 UTC
Reopening.  There have been some more spec patches upstream in the meantime; I'll see if any of them fix the issue, or if there is yet another upstream patch needed.

Comment 15 Eric Blake 2011-12-08 20:43:45 UTC
Found the bug.

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-December/msg00418.html

Commit ecd8725 tried to silence a spurious warning on the initial
libvirt install, and commit ba6cbb1 tried to fix up the logic to the
correct Fedora version, but the warning was still present due to a
logic bug: since %{fedora} and %{rhel} are never simulatanously
set, then 0%{rhel} <= 6 made the %if always true.  Checking for
minimum versions (via >=) is okay, but checking for maximum versions
(via <=) requires a prerequisite test that the platform being tested
is non-zero.

Also fix a bogus setting of with_libxl (although we previously
hard-code with_libxl to 0 for rhel earlier in the file, so this
was not as severe a bug).

* libvirt.spec.in (with_cgconfig): Don't enable cgconfig on F16.
---

How embarrassing that I've botched this patch twice; I didn't notice
the botch because 'yum reinstall libvirt' is not an initial install,
so it didn't trigger the scriptlet in question.  It took a full
'yum erase libvirt' followed by 'yum install libvirt' to prove this
patch (finally) gets it right.

Comment 16 Eric Blake 2011-12-08 22:04:12 UTC
This needs backporting to F15 and F16.

Comment 18 Laine Stump 2011-12-20 16:44:43 UTC
Somehow this bz wasn't automatically moved from POST to MODIFIED, even though it did get the auto-notice in Comment 17. Manually moving to MODIFIED...
