i did not expect that this package hits updates-testing after my bugreport for yum which i now changed to "rpm" - what the hell does the FF package while others are updated fine all the time?

*unpush this dmaned package from updates-testing* and the next time you build anything *try to install it on your own machine* before push it anywhere - unbelieveable

if you follow https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1004062 you realize that the firefox package is broken and that rpm results in a sehfault is the rsult of it and a different story

Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2013-09-08 15:33:43 UTC
Here's a suggested fix, ie conditionalize the entire %pretrans, not just its body. Rpm needs to be fixed to not crash on an empty <lua> scriptlet body but an empty %pretrans -p <lua> simply does not make any sense in any situation:

Calm down please. Package went only to updates-testing and this channel is for testing only. It didn't go to stable. I simply don't have F18 anymore and I can't test package for all Fedoras. That's why we have update-testing repository and update tool with karma feedback.

> I simply don't have F18 anymore

unacceptable behavior in case of a maintainer with a @redhat.com address
virtualization exists

> Package went only to updates-testing and this channel is for testing only

i know that, and people having enabled updates-testing like me are fucked up everytime they type "yum update" because a maintainer does "build and forget"
