From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: In FC1, I had installed postfix from a tarball, not by RPM. I made an own startscript for postfix in /etc/rc5.d. When upgrading to FC2, the /etc/rc5.d entry for postfix was removed for unknown reasons. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install postfix tarball in FC1, make an /etc/rc5.d entry 2.Upgrade to FC2 Actual Results: /etc/rc5.d/*postfix will be removed. Expected Results: etc/rc5.d/*postfix will be preserved Additional info:
Are you installing the postfix rpm?
No - by a tarball
Then this is no postfix rpm problem. Assigning to initscripts, because /etc/rc.d/init.d belongs to initscripts.
Was the new postfix RPM installed? Did you change the layout of /etc/ at all? (make symlinks into directories, etc.)
NO! What I made was: ln -s /etc/init.d/postfix /etc/rc5.d/S98postfix
There's nothing in the initscripts that touches files in /etc/rc5.d. Can you reproduce this at will?
I don't think the original submitter confirmed whether postfix RPM ended up being installed after the upgrade? If 'no, it wasn't installed', then I'd start digging at this from chkconfig package, i.e., whether it would have been doing some clean-up in rcX.d directories...
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
