From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/9.00 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Description of problem: After every yum upgrade of avahi, avahi-daemon is set to start on boot even if I previously disabled it with: chkconfig avahi-daemon off Preinstall script does not check if avahi is already installed and resets my settings: bash# rpm -q --scripts avahi preinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): # Add the "avahi" user /usr/sbin/useradd -c 'Avahi daemon' -u 70 \ -s /sbin/nologin -r -d '/' avahi 2> /dev/null || : postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /sbin/ldconfig if [ "$1" -eq 1 ]; then /sbin/chkconfig --add avahi-daemon >/dev/null 2>&1 .......... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): avahi-0.6.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade avahi with yum or rpm 2. 3. Actual Results: bash# chkconfig --list avahi-daemon avahi-daemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Expected Results: Like before upgrade it should be: bash# chkconfig --list avahi-daemon avahi-daemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off Additional info:
This bug is now fixed with avahi-0.6.1-2 , in tomorrow's rawhide - only if the avahi-daemon service is not known to chkconfig at all will the chkconfig --add be done . Unfortunately, we have to enable the avahi service by default, because packages like gnome-meeting, gnome-vfs, openoffice, etc. depend on the avahi service running - hopefully in the future we'll have a way of letting services dynamically enable services on which they depend.
I think this can be closed now.
