Description James Olin Oden 2003-07-23 00:15:42 UTC
Description of problem:
Given two rpms a and b where b has an install trigger on a.  Whenever
the trigger is ran, the first argument passed to the trigger will
always equal the second argument (the first being the number of
instances of the trigger containing rpm and the second being the 
the number of instances of the triggering rpm).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install rpm a-1-1 and b-1-1 on the system in one transaction.
2.  Upgrade to a-1-2 or b-1-2.
    
Actual results:
If you upgrade to a-1-2 then the args will be (2, 2) respectively.
If you had upgraded to b-1-2 the args will be (1, 1).

Expected results:
For an upgrade a-1-2 the args should have been (1, 2),
and for b-1-2 they should have been (2, 1).

Additional info:
Jeff, your basically using the name you got from the dependency list
to determine the count of instances of the rpm containing the trigger.
Just need to take the triggerH and get the name from that to get this
info.  I have a patch for this.

I'm having a different problem that I think may be related:

If b (in the above example) has an an *uninstall* trigger, it is executed with
$1 = 0 on upgrade to b-1-2. $1 should have been 1, I think, since b is still
installed after the upgrade.

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2003-12-27 01:36:05 UTC
Added (finally) in CVS, should be in rpm-4.2.2-0.8 and later.

Thanks for the patch.
