From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040929 package is initscripts-7.86-1 Description of problem: In /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions, line 438, in the action() function, is where the error occurs, due to the script trying to write to an invalid path when a step fails in the initscripts. The code is part of an if statement. Here is the statement. if [ "$rc" = "0" ]; then echo_success > /etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console else echo_failed > /etc/rhgb/tmp/rhgb-console [ -x /usr/bin/rhgb-client ] && /usr/bin/rhgb-client --details=yes fi Notice that the path being written to in the else block is different from the path in the if block, but the should be the same. The if block is correct. In the else block, "tmp" should be replaced with "temp". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.86-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. You need to arrange for some initscript to fail for some reason during bootup. For example, if your computer is configured to automatically bring up your ethernet connection using DHCP, then just unplug your ethernet cable and boot. When it runs the /etc/init.d/network script, the ifup eth0 step will fail, and you'll see an error message printed to your screen about an error at line 438 in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. Additional info: To fix the problem, simply substitute "temp" for "tmp" in the above snippet. Here's the correct code that should be in the action() function. if [ "$rc" = "0" ]; then echo_success > /etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console else echo_failed > /etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console [ -x /usr/bin/rhgb-client ] && /usr/bin/rhgb-client --details=yes fi
Fixed in 7.93.2-1, thanks!
