Description of problem: The mscore package contains a recursive link named "*.mcsz" to itself in the directory /usr/share/mscore-2.0/templates. While certainly a nice test for scripts to handle corner cases (recursive link, file name contains a glob), I am pretty sure it should not be there ;) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mscore-2.0.3-3.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: rpm -q --dump mscore | grep \* Actual results: /usr/share/mscore-2.0/templates/*.mcsz 6 1464072928 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0120777 root root 0 0 0 *.mcsz Expected results: Nothing. Additional info:
This is due to a typo in the spec file. This for loop in %install: for i in *.mcsz; do ln -s $i ../templates/$i done has the 's' and 'c' letters reversed; it should be: for i in *.mscz; do ln -s $i ../templates/$i done
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Reopening, as this is still broken in Fedora 26. Please see comment 1 for the fix.
No, actually, even the fix in comment 1 is wrong. That just creates self-referential symbolic links. What is the for loop supposed to accomplish? Is it supposed to create symbolic links in the templates directory that point to the files in the demos directory? In that case, the correct invocation is this: pushd %{buildroot}/%{_datadir}/%{name}-%{shortver}/demos/ for i in *.mscz; do ln -s ../demos/$i ../templates/$i done popd
But now I have to wonder if any of this is even necessary. Since that for loop has always been broken, and therefore the symbolic links have never existed in Fedora, are they actually needed for anything? I got the "My First Score" the first time I ran mscore. Should this for loop just be removed from the spec file altogether?
