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 Fabian Deutsch 2016-10-05 14:32:24 UTC

Description of problem:
Currently windows line endings in a %post let can cause an %post-let to fail.
It will even fail silently if --erroronfail is not given.

This condition can be checked and can probably be avoided.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a ks with \r chars in a %post --erroronfail seciton
2. Start an automated install using this ks
3. anaconda will fail

Actual results:
anaconda will silently fail

Expected results:
anaconda will fail with an error - or correct the line endings

I guess the scriptlets could be checked & fixed when the kickstart is being parsed. So maybe this is something for Pykickstart ? Adding Chris to CC.

Comment 2 Samantha N. Bueno 2017-05-26 16:11:03 UTC

We did not get to this in 7.4, so deferring to 7.5 planning.

Comment 3 Samantha N. Bueno 2017-09-01 11:25:18 UTC

We were unable to include this into our workload for 7.5, but we'd still like to look into this issue, so deferring it to 7.6 planning.

Comment 4 Jiri Konecny 2018-04-25 11:39:51 UTC

Based on the comment 1 the best component to fix this issue would be pykickstart. Changing component.
