RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description jiri vanek 2014-07-22 09:39:04 UTC 
As RPMS do have LUA to copy config files, they have also rm -rf in post
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/java-1.7.0-openjdk.git/tree/java-1.7.0-openjdk.spec?h=f20#n1229

This can be really inconvenient, if there are already some rpmnew/rpmsave files. If those are in this directory, the rm -rf should not be called. 

Originally reported here:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2014-July/028631.html

The original reporter is requesting also enlarging of the list of config files and is also complaining about downgrade. However downgrade seems to work ...
Comment 2 Severin Gehwolf 2014-07-22 11:12:57 UTC 
Also consider the following:

$ rpm -qa | grep java-1.7.0-openjdk
java-1.7.0-openjdk-headless-1:1.7.0.65-2.5.1.2.fc20.x86_64
java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel-1:1.7.0.65-2.5.1.2.fc20.x86_64

$ sudo rpm -e -vvv --nodeps java-1.7.0-openjdk-headless
[...]
D: %postun(java-1.7.0-openjdk-headless-1:1.7.0.65-2.5.1.2.fc20.x86_64): execv(/bin/sh) pid 17074

[...]

$ rpm -V java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel
<all-devel-owned-files-missing>

I'm aware that the --nodeps option is fairly dangerous, but it's still somewhat unexpected behavour to do in a package's %postun
Comment 4 jiri vanek 2016-01-13 13:10:25 UTC 
As openjdk7 is already using the luascripts, and rm -rf is already removed from 7.3 specfiles, then  ACK as we already have openjdk7 erratum.
Comment 6 jiri vanek 2016-06-06 14:08:04 UTC 
This bug should be indirectly fixed by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1296442. If it will persists in 7.3 with all components properly updated, please reposrt new bug.
