From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: The postinstall script of libgcj fails when upgrading because of an error in the /usr/share/info/fastjar.info file. fastjar.info does not take ownership of the 'grepjar' and 'jar' info entries. As a result, when an old version of libgcj is uninstalled, it does not remove the old 'grepjar' and 'jar' info entries. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libgcj-3.2.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a version of libgcj already installed. 2. Upgrade to a newer version of libgcj. Actual Results: rpm returns the following error: install-info: menu item `grepjar' already exists, for file `(none)' error: %post(libgcj-3.2.1-1) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Expected Results: The 'grepjar' and 'jar' info entries should have been properly deleted by the old package's uninstall. Additional info: Here's a patch to /usr/share/info/fastjar.info that will fix the problem (I hope it's short enough to warrant putting inline in the bug report): --- fastjar.info.orig 2002-12-02 15:40:36.000000000 -0800 +++ fastjar.info 2002-12-02 15:40:36.000000000 -0800 @@ -8,9 +8,9 @@ INFO-DIR-SECTION Individual utilities START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY -* jar: Invoking jar. +* jar: (fastjar)Invoking jar.
