Description bastiaan 2000-08-02 11:09:39 UTC 
Syptoms:
Installing kernel-source-2.2.16-17.i386.rpm generates the following error
message:
D: running postinstall scripts (if any)
+ cd /usr/src
+ rm -f linux
+ ln -snf linux-2.2.16 linux
var/tmp/rpm-tmp.36107: line 15: syntax error: unexpected end of file
execution of kernel-source-2.2.16-17 script failed, exit status 2

Solution:
The postinstall script in the RPM contains the lines:
if [ 1 -eq 0 ] ; then
        cd /usr/include
        rm -f linux asm
        ln -snf ../src/linux/include/linux linux
        ln -snf ../src/linux/include/asm asm
endif

'endif' is incorrect, replace with 'fi'

One for the next build.
Comment 2 Michael K. Johnson 2000-08-04 20:23:31 UTC 
FWIW, that was caused by a change from rpm %foo syntax to shell
syntax, and is fixed in all our current internal incremental
builds.  You will see this error again when the 2.2.16-17 packages
are uninstalled because they exist in the uninstall as well as
install scripts.
Comment 3 Alan Cox 2000-08-06 02:06:24 UTC 
The -19 package seems just fine
