Description Ian Collier 2025-08-28 15:17:13 UTC
Description of problem:
Installing oddjob tries to HUP a process called dbus-daemon and this is incorrect and unnecessary and might result in an error message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
oddjob-0.34.7-15.fc42.x86_64

How reproducible:
reliable

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora server in text mode
2. dnf install oddjob

Actual results:
>>> Running %post scriptlet: oddjob-0:0.34.7-15.fc42.x86_64
>>> Finished %post scriptlet: oddjob-0:0.34.7-15.fc42.x86_64
>>> Scriptlet output:
>>> dbus-daemon: no process found

Expected results:
No error message

Additional info:
This happens because the script refers to the process "dbus-daemon"; but dbus-broker and not dbus-daemon is the default dbus server on Fedora.  In fact it's not necessary to HUP the daemon at all because it auto-loads changed files.  Note that if GDM is running then it will have a dbus-daemon process and so that will be (needlessly) told to reload and there is no error message in that case.

Moreover, the line in the script that does this:
   killall -HUP dbus-daemon 2>&1 > /dev/null
has the redirects in the wrong order so it doesn't suppress error output.
