Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.16.2-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -e --nodeps gnome-vfs2 2. yum install gnome-vfs2 Actual results: At the end of the install, I get the following: I/O warning : failed to load external entity " " Failed to open ` ': No such file or directory Expected results: No failure should occur Additional info: This is on an x86_64 system, so yum installed both i386 and x86_64 versions. Both gave the same error.
Not only warnings about 'external entity " "' are printed but long lists of first of uninstalled and later installed asorted schemas are dumped to a screen and that despite of a presens of 'gconftool-2 --makefile-uninstall-rule .... > /dev/null || :', and similar, in package scripts. Apparently gconftool-2 started to print all that information on stderr. Either we truly do not care about a status of these commands, ss suggested by "... || :", and then it should be "> /dev/null 2>&1", or we want to see warnings; but then better make just an information to show on stdout and package scripts are fine like they are.
I don't understand this, but i suspect this change: * Wed Oct 18 2006 Matthias Clasen <mclasen> - 2.16.0-6 - Fix scripts according to packaging guidelines Matthias, have you seen this issue before?
Alex, I probably just forgot to replace > /dev/null by >& /dev/null
The ScriptletSnippets doesn't have >& or 2>&1 though. Did something change to cause this... It seems a bit bad to drop the stderr, because that could signal some actual problem.
This seems to work fine with gnome-vfs2-2.20.1-1.fc8 in F8.
