%pre scriptlet failed when installing virt-manager
Last modified: 2008-04-04 10:54:58 EDT
Description of problem: 'yum install virt-manager' fails with %pre scriptlet error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.5.2-2.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install & update a Fedora 8 distribution 2. yum install virt-manager Actual results: Downloading Packages: (1/1): virt-manager-0.5.2 100% |=========================| 1.2 MB 00:01 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping virt-manager-0.5.2-2.fc8 Installed: virt-manager.x86_64 0:0.5.2-2.fc8 Complete! Expected results: Package installs without error. Additional info: Previously running the same command installed all other dependencies and failed for virt-manager package. Although there is an error yum shows that the package is installed. $ rpm -qa | grep virt virt-viewer-0.0.2-2.fc8 libvirt-python-0.3.3-2.fc8 python-virtinst-0.300.1-3.fc8 libvirt-0.3.3-2.fc8 virt-manager is not installed. The host machine is a Xen paravirtual guest running on RHEL 5.1. Everything else works fine. NOTE: Running virtualization layer on top of already virtualized system will lead to poor performance but that should not be a reason for the package to install.
Interesting thing is that today I managed to install the same version virt-manager without any problems. I only upgraded this morning to the latest F8 updates.
THis doesn't appear to be reproducable - I can only assume a transient fault with your GConf install, since that's all that virt-manager runs in %pre & we have a correct Requires(pre): GConf2 already.
