This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Also happens on Fedora 19 on ppc64. The error is: Error The following error occurred while installing. This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted. script error with package pinentry Press enter to exit. There's no additional information, eg. error messages, in any log file. Strange, this is all there is:
Requires(pre): %{_sbindir}/update-alternatives
# alternatives dropped at 0.7.6-3 (use %%trigger instead?)
%pre
%{_sbindir}/update-alternatives --remove pinentry %{_bindir}/pinentry-curses ||:
%{_sbindir}/update-alternatives --remove pinentry %{_bindir}/pinentry-gtk ||:
%{_sbindir}/update-alternatives --remove pinentry %{_bindir}/pinentry-qt ||:
%post
if [ -f %{_infodir}/pinentry.info* ]; then
/sbin/install-info %{_infodir}/pinentry.info %{_infodir}/dir ||:
fi
%preun
if [ $1 -eq 0 -a -f %{_infodir}/pinentry.info* ] ; then
/sbin/install-info --delete %{_infodir}/pinentry.info %{_infodir}/dir ||:
fi
Good news is that's a *long* time ago, perhaps it's time to drop the %pre baggage (unless anyone can eyeball something wrong with %preun or %post ?
TBH I'm rather expecting that this is a ppc64-specific error. The same error happened with a different package, so I opened a bug against anaconda (bug 1002077). This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life.
