Upgrading from nfs-utils-1.0.10-7.fc6.x86_64 to nfs-utils-1.0.10-10.fc6.x86_64 when nfs is not running results in: error: %postun(nfs-utils-1.0.10-7.fc6.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 ...and subsequently: $ rpm -q nfs-utils nfs-utils-1.0.10-7.fc6.x86_64 nfs-utils-1.0.10-10.fc6.x86_64 This is because /etc/init.d/nfs condrestart returns an error code (1) if nfs is not running: # /etc/init.d/nfs status rpc.mountd is stopped nfsd is stopped # /etc/init.d/nfs condrestart # echo $? 1 Fix: make nfs condrestart exit with 0 if nfs is not running.

> Fixed in nfs-utils-1.0.10-11 Well, the same bug hit during an upgrade from nfs-utils-1.0.12-4.fc7 to nfs-utils-1.0.12-6.fc8. The later has in postuninstall ..... /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs condrestart > /dev/null /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfslock condrestart > /dev/null and the "nfslock" happens to return with status 0 regardless if it nfslock service was running or not so everything is apparently fine. But the previous line will return 1 if nfs was not running so if that will show up at the end then we are screwed. Why not to add an explicit terminating 'return 0' and not to rely on how scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ were edited at the moment?
