Description of problem: [root@victor ~]# ltsp-build-client --arch i386 ERROR: /etc/xinetd.d/tftp is configured to /var/lib/tftpboot while /var/lib/tftp is expected. /tftpboot was the old location, while /var/lib/tftp is default in Fedora 9+. You may need to edit /etc/xinetd.d/tftp manually. error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ltsp-server-5.1.0-0.8.20080325.22.fc9.x86_64 tftp-server-0.48-3.fc9.x86_64 Additional info: The tftpboot path was changed from /tftpboot to /var/lib/tftpboot in the following change (tftp-server): * Wed Jan 23 2008 Martin Nagy <mnagy> - 0.42-6 - changed the location of tftpboot directory to /var/lib/ Maybe /var/lib/tftp is correcter than /var/lib/tftpboot, in that case please reassign to component tftp, thanks!
Did you upgrade from Fedora 8 to Fedora 9? In that case you have to edit /etc/xinetd.d/tftp manually because it is evil for an RPM %post to edit config files automatically and the tftp owner rightly declined to do it. Unfortunately xinetd.d files need to be marked %config(noreplace) in order to not break in upgrades, which sucks because they need to be modified merely to be enabled.
> Did you upgrade from Fedora 8 to Fedora 9? [%config(noreplace) explanation] No, this is a fresh install and %config(noreplace) is my middle name. ;) As a further indication that the current tftp package in F9 does indeed use /var/lib/tftpboot just look at its file manifest: [root@victor ~]# rpm -ql tftp-server| grep /var /var/lib/tftpboot It's just that tft, ltsp and any other package making assumptions about where the tftp(boot) directory is need to agree on a standard [1] location. [1] standard for Fedora/RHEL at least, since there is no given FHS path for it
Great catch Axel! I had confused the name because of /etc/xinetd.d/tftp. This will be fixed in 5.1.2.
