Bug 747772

Cloning as this exists in EPEL6.

Installing bugzilla-contrib is a workaround.  I'm fine with that, but dragging in ruby for this is sorta meh.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #610198 +++

Description of problem:

checksetup.pl fails:
"Creating contrib/.htaccess...
No such file or directory at Bugzilla/Install/Filesystem.pm line 485."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove previous failed install of bugzilla
2. create new database for bugzilla (note:  I'm not using "bugs")
3. "yum install bugzilla" with db info in /etc/bugzilla/localconfig
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

bugzilla installs

Additional info:

the install of bugzilla attempts to connect to the DB, and acts surprised that it can't; "rpm -e bugzilla" left the "/etc/bugzilla/localconfig" file so I just filled it in.  Recommend making the error a little more meaningful, since it might confuse people who are just installing the package.  No mention of running checksetup.pl is mentioned, for instance.

Creating the contrib directory caused the install to just hang; commenting out the connect info in /etc/bugzilla/localconfig and then installing caused it to complete the install.  At that point I set the connect info again, ran checksetup.pl, and it worked fine.

Which is to say, the contrib directory (/usr/share/bugzilla/contrib) should be created by the package.

note that due to the fact that the install hangs when the contrib directory exists, I can't think of a way that the install would actually be successful if it runs checksetup.pl?  I'd recommend just displaying text at the end of the package install that tells the user to run the script.

I imagine that the "hanging" was really the checksetup.pl script prompting me for an admin email, but since I don't get all of stdout during a yum install, I wasn't seeing it.  This is the reason I suggest just not running checksetup.pl in the post-install section (assuming) of the rpm at all; just have the user run it after.

Same problem from cron, when yum-cron updated bugzilla to bugzilla-3.4.7-1.fc12.noarch.

No such file or directory at Bugzilla/Install/Filesystem.pm line 485, <DATA>
line 228.

Although it's present in rpm package, this error was displayed. Is it possible, that it was displayed before file was moved?

I am still having this problem on Fedora ARM F13 beta.  Bugzilla in that release is 3.4.5, so it doesn't have this fix.

For anyone in this situation, a workaround is:

  mkdir /usr/share/bugzilla/contrib
