Description Michal Jaegermann 2004-10-05 19:04:40 EDT

Description of problem:

While running an update the following shows up:

install-info: menu item `GNAT User's Guide' already exists, for file
`gnat_ug'

Apparently 'gnat_ug.info.gz' was there before and got replaced
with 'gnat_ugn_unw.info.gz'.  Unfortunately preuninstall and
postinstall scriptlets do not mention anything about 'gnat_ug'
and the net effect is that a corresponding menu entry ends up
pointing to a non-existent file.

How about adding to scriplets something in that style

grep -q 'gnat_ug)' && /sbin/install-info --delete \
  --info-dir=/usr/share/info /usr/share/info/gnat_ug.info.gz

or making this conditional on an existence of 
/usr/share/info/gnat_ug.info.gz ?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc-gnat-3.4.2-4

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2004-10-06 14:53:38 EDT

If the buggy rpm was released as part of a stable distribution, then
I guess something like that would be needed.  But the buggy rpms
were solely in FC3test*.
