Description of problem: gridengine-execd and gridengine-qmaster has the following requires: Requires(postun): %{name} = %{version}-%{release} However, with the following command: yum -y remove gridengine\* yum will allow itself to remove gridengine before gridengine-execd and gridengine-qmaster. This causes problem because the initscripts in the first two packages depend on files in the base package: Running Transaction Erasing : gridengine ######################### [1/5] /etc/init.d/sgeexecd: line 85: /usr/share/gridengine/util/arch: No such file or directory /etc/init.d/sgeexecd: line 86: /usr/share/gridengine/util/arch: No such file or directory /etc/init.d/sgeexecd: line 91: =$:/usr/share/gridengine/lib/: No such file or directory export LANG="en_US.UTF-8" export OLDPWD export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin" export PWD="/" export SGE_CELL="default" export SGE_ROOT="/usr/share/gridengine" export SHLVL="1" export TERM="xterm" /etc/init.d/sgeexecd: line 219: /usr/libexec/gridengine/utilbin/gethostname: No such file or directory /etc/init.d/sgeexecd: line 220: /usr/libexec/gridengine/utilbin/gethostname: No such file or directory /etc/init.d/sgeexecd: line 142: /usr/bin/qconf: No such file or directory /etc/init.d/sgeexecd: line 144: /usr/bin/qconf: No such file or directory Shutting down Grid Engine execution daemon ls: cannot access //active_jobs: No such file or directory Erasing : gridengine-execd ######################### [2/5] Erasing : gridengine-devel ######################### [3/5] Erasing : gridengine-qmon ######################### [4/5] /etc/init.d/sgemaster: line 89: /usr/share/gridengine/util/arch: No such file or directory /etc/init.d/sgemaster: line 96: /usr/share/gridengine/util/arch: No such file or directory /etc/init.d/sgemaster: line 101: =$:/usr/share/gridengine/lib/: No such file or directory export LANG="en_US.UTF-8" export OLDPWD export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin" export PWD="/" export SGE_CELL="default" export SGE_ROOT="/usr/share/gridengine" export SHLVL="1" export TERM="xterm" can't determine path to Grid Engine binaries Erasing : gridengine-qmaster ######################### [5/5] Note that "yum remove gridengine" which is by far the most common way of removing these packages works as expected.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
