Description Ralf Corsepius 2005-09-27 04:49:07 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050909 Fedora/1.7.10-1.5.2

Description of problem:
gnumeric ships
/usr/share/mc/templates/gnumeric.desktop

However no parent package owns /usr/share/mc/templates
(mc is not a parent package of gnumeric)

I.e. if installing gnumeric without having mc installed,
/usr/share/mc/templates and /usr/share/mc
are unowned

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnumeric-1.4.3-2.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install gnumeric
2. yum remove mc
3. rpm -qf /usr/share/mc /usr/share/mc/templates

  

Actual Results:  # rpm -qf /usr/share/mc /usr/share/mc/templates
file /usr/share/mc is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/mc/templates is not owned by any package

This causes these directories to stay around orphaned/unowned upon removing the gnumeric rpm.


Expected Results:  gnumeric should own
/usr/share/mc
/usr/share/mc/templates

Alternatively,
/usr/share/mc/templates/gnumeric.desktop
should not be shipped.

Yet another alternative would be to put
/usr/share/mc/templates/gnumeric.desktop
into a subpackage (e.g. gnumeric-mc)
and let this subpackage
Requires: mc


Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2005-10-18 19:12:52 UTC
Thanks for reporting, I'll just own the dir instead of creating yet another
subpackage.

I concider this bug not worthy of a new release though, I'll fix it when
something that thus warrant a new release comes along.


Comment 3 Hans de Goede 2006-04-08 06:49:16 UTC
Hmm, this bug has long been "fixed" by a newer release I just forgot to close
it, on closer examination though it turns out that mc itself doesn't own
/usr/share/mc/templates only /usr/share/mc as /usr/share/mc/templates doesn't
seem to get used by mc at all, and the gnumeric.desktop file _really_ is a
.desktop file, so I'm leaving this bug open to track the fact that this entire
fire should be removed from the gnumeric package.


Comment 4 Hans de Goede 2006-04-08 09:13:07 UTC
I've fixed this for the devel branch its also fixed in FC-5 cvs but I don't want
to push a build there purely for this small fix. Once there is reason for a
build on FC-5 this will get picked up too.
