Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 228773
control-center %pre script exits with a status 1 preventing an update
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:57 EST
Description of problem: An attempt to update to control-center-2.17.91-1.fc7 ends up with: "scriptlet failed, exit status 1" After a removal of ">&/dev/null" redirection and running that stand-alone this shows up at an output end: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/etc/gconf/schemas/control-center.schemas" Failed to open `/etc/gconf/schemas/control-center.schemas': No such file or directory There is nothing which would force a return status to 0 so yum rejects that update. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.17.91-1.fc7.
I think mclasen fixed this today, not sure though, so CCing him.
Fixed
I don't know if this would influence future updates which assumed control-center installed, which it did not. I eneded up getting an instance of bug-buddy when either evince or evolution was being installed. The error was related to nautilus which was not opened in a browser. The bug was filed upstream. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408038 BTW, I like the return of the system menus vs. the control-center icons.

I had the same problem yesterday. Today I did a "yum install control-center" and it gave a huge amount of scary messages (see a tiny chunk of the tail end quoted below) but it apparently succeeded. ################################################################# Uninstalled schema `/schemas/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-gnome-theme/enable' from locale `en_CA' Uninstalled schema `/schemas/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-gnome-theme/enable' from locale `ne' Uninstalled schema `/schemas/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-gnome-theme/enable' from locale `ga' Uninstalled schema `/schemas/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-gnome-theme/enable' from locale `uk' Uninstalled schema `/schemas/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-gnome-theme/enable' from locale `zh_HK' Uninstalled schema `/schemas/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-gnome-theme/enable' from locale `hi' Uninstalled schema `/schemas/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-gnome-theme/enable' from locale `pt' I/O warning : failed to load external entity " " Failed to open ` ': No such file or directory Installing: control-center ######################### [2/3] Cleanup : control-center ######################### [3/3] Installed: control-center.x86_64 1:2.17.91-2.fc7 Updated: control-center.i386 1:2.17.91-2.fc7 Complete! ################################################################# But now the System / Preferences menu is gone! :-( I can only get to System / Administration.

This issue is unrelated to the original reason for this bug. Please don't pile on like that. I've fixed the problem anyway, in gnome-menus-2.17.91-2.fc7
