Directory permissions prevent adding subclipse via software update
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:03 EST
Description of problem: On a clean installation of eclipse installed using: > yum install eclipse-sdk eclipse-cdt Using Help/Software Updates/Find and Install, the SDK displays an error complaining that it can't create a directory under /usr/eclipse/features. If this is ignored, there is a configuration problem that prevents any features from installing. The reported configuration problems are: Current configuration contains errors that are not corrected by the requested operation and more errors would be introduced. See details for more information. ----- Current configuration problems ----- Error creating feature "file:/usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.rcp_3.2.1.r321_v20060801-clWbqCmjexIWDqg/". [/usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.rcp_3.2.1.r321_v20060801-clWbqCmjexIWDqg/feature.xml (No such file or directory)] ----- Configuration problems after the operation ----- Error creating feature "file:/usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.rcp_3.2.1.r321_v20060801-clWbqCmjexIWDqg/". [/usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.rcp_3.2.1.r321_v20060801-clWbqCmjexIWDqg/feature.xml (No such file or directory)] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version: 3.2.2 Build id: M20070212-1330 (Fedora Core release 6 (Zod)) How reproducible: So far, I've only done this once on this version, but the same problem was present on the previous update. Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a fresh install of eclipse, installed as above, invoke /Help/Software Updates/Find and Install. 2. Add a new remote link to http://subclipse.tigris.org/update 3. Click <Finish> 4. Select Subclipse Actual results: Popup indicates a configuration error. Expected results: SDK should proceed to downloading the selected feature. Additional info:
On closer examination, this isn't right. The actual problem is that there are missing plugins in the distribution.
No, it is a bug. I just discovered it yesterday evening. I'm currently working on a fix. Thanks for the report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 238107 ***
