Description of problem: Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package foreman-bootloaders-redhat-tftpboot There is semantic error in /usr/bin/foreman-generate-bootloaders in check_pkg() function (Line 20): check_pkg() { rpm -q "$1" &>/dev/null || echo "Please install: yum -y install $1" && exit 1 } cmd1 || cmd2 && cmd3 So, if cmd1 succeeds then cmd2 is skipped (OK) but cmd3 is still performed (BUG) It should be like this: cmd1 || ( cmd2 && cmd3 ) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): satellite-6.3.0-23.0.el7sat.noarch (Snap 34) foreman-bootloaders-redhat-201801241201-1.el7sat.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # yum upgrade ... warning: %post(foreman-bootloaders-redhat-tftpboot-201801241201-1.el7sat.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package foreman-bootloaders-redhat-tftpboot-201801241201-1.el7sat.noarch 2. # rpm -q --scripts foreman-bootloaders-redhat-tftpboot postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /usr/bin/foreman-generate-bootloaders x86_64 noinstall 3. # /usr/bin/foreman-generate-bootloaders x86_64 noinstall # echo $? 1 Actual results: rpm scriptlet exits with 1 though there is no error at all Expected results: rpm scriptlet exits with 0 as there is no error at all
VERIFIED. @satellite-6.4.0-7.beta.el7sat.noarch foreman-bootloaders-redhat-tftpboot-201801241201-3.el7sat.noarch # rpm -q --scripts foreman-bootloaders-redhat-tftpboot postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /usr/bin/foreman-generate-bootloaders x86_64 noinstall # /usr/bin/foreman-generate-bootloaders x86_64 noinstall # echo $? 0 >>> foreman-bootloaders-redhat-tftpboot postinstall scriptlet causes no error --- check_pkg() { rpm -q "$1" &>/dev/null || ( echo "Please install: yum -y install $1" >/dev/stderr && exit 1 ) } --- ^ correct semantics
