Description of problem:
Installation of some PMDAs on a fresh RHEL-8.2 system fails due to missing dependency on pcp package.
This is the list of failing PMDAs:
pcp-pmda-dm pcp-pmda-bash pcp-pmda-cifs pcp-pmda-gfs2 pcp-pmda-gpfs pcp-pmda-gpsd pcp-pmda-news pcp-pmda-pdns pcp-pmda-snmp pcp-pmda-bind2 pcp-pmda-cisco pcp-pmda-ds389 pcp-pmda-mailq pcp-pmda-mysql pcp-pmda-nginx pcp-pmda-redis pcp-pmda-samba pcp-pmda-smart pcp-pmda-trace pcp-pmda-apache pcp-pmda-dbping pcp-pmda-mounts pcp-pmda-oracle pcp-pmda-shping pcp-pmda-zimbra pcp-pmda-bonding pcp-pmda-postfix pcp-pmda-rsyslog pcp-pmda-systemd pcp-pmda-activemq pcp-pmda-ds389log pcp-pmda-memcache pcp-pmda-netfilter pcp-pmda-nvidia-gpu
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
* pcp-5.0.2-2.el8
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a fresh RHEL-8.2 system without installed pcp package install any of PMDAs reported above
# yum install -y pcp-pmda-activemq
2. Run an installation script of the PMDA
# cd /var/lib/pcp/pmdas/activemq/ && ./Install
Actual results:
The installation fails with a message similar to this one (different PMDAs reports different line numbers):
./Install: line 16: /etc/pcp.env: No such file or directory
Expected results:
The installation is passing without errors.
Additional info:
* A similar error is generated during uninstallation of such PMDA.
* This issue occures randomly during automated testing of PMDAs, when an affected PMDA is installed before explicit installation of pcp package.
