Description of problem: ipmiutil for Fedora >= 20 contains broken rpm-scriptlets, which contain unexpanded systemd-macros: # rpm -q --scripts -p ipmiutil-2.9.1-2.fc20.i686.rpm ... postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): ... %systemd_post ipmiutil_evt.service %systemd_post ipmiutil_asy.service %systemd_post ipmiutil_wdt.service %systemd_post ipmi_port.service preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): ... %systemd_preun ipmiutil_evt.service %systemd_preun ipmiutil_asy.service %systemd_preun ipmiutil_wdt.service %systemd_preun ipmi_port.service ... postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ -x /bin/systemctl ]; then %systemd_postun_with_restart ipmi_port.service if [ -f %{_unitdir}/ipmiutil_evt.service ]; then rm -f %{_unitdir}/ipmiutil_evt.service rm -f %{_unitdir}/ipmiutil_asy.service rm -f %{_unitdir}/ipmiutil_wdt.service rm -f %{_unitdir}/ipmi_port.service ... Additional info: - The cause of this issue is the spec missing a BR: systemd to pull-in the necessary systemd.macros. - These unexpanded systemd macros may cause yum update failures, leaving behind duplicate entries in rpmdb.
This was added to the ipmiutil.spec file for rawhide/epel6 and upstream in ipmiutil-2.9.3 (03/28/2014). 03/28/2014 ARCress ipmiutil-2.9.3 changes doc/ipmiutil.spec - add 'BuildRequires: systemd' if Fedora >= 15
ipmiutil-2.9.1-4.fc21 has cp -f ${scr_dir}/ipmiutil_evt.service %{_unitdir} cp -f ${scr_dir}/ipmiutil_asy.service %{_unitdir} cp -f ${scr_dir}/ipmiutil_wdt.service %{_unitdir} cp -f ${scr_dir}/ipmi_port.service %{_unitdir} in its install script, which makes a file named /%{_unitdir}
I'm concerned that the fix to add the BuildRequires: systemd from 11/25/2014 for 2.9.3 didn't get merged into fc21.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
