Description of problem: When running yum, the first displayed line is: Unable to create nspr log file '/home/milos/.thunderbird/thunderbird.log' But everything works normally so this is really a minor problem, but it indicates something is a bit wrong probably. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.14-10.fc9 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. start yum (with any parameters) Actual results: >yum Unable to create nspr log file '/home/milos/.thunderbird/thunderbird.log' [normal output] Expected results: >yum [normal output] :)
Changing component to rpm as actually it happens anytime rpm is called, not only yum.
You just have NSPR_LOG_MODULES and NSPR_LOG_FILE environment variables set in your ~/.bash_profile or so. Guessing from the path you have at some point enabled them for thunderbird debugging and forgot to turn them off when done :) The NSPR_LOG_* environment variables aren't thunderbird specific but global for anything that uses the NSPR library. Nowadays rpm uses NSPR indirectly as NSS uses NSPR to dynamically load libraries. The message is harmless, and rpm doesn't mess with NSPR_LOG_* environment (it's none of rpm's business). Just remove the NSPR_LOG_* variables from your environment (wherever they're originally set, probably ~/.bash_profile), they're only really useful when debugging NSPR behavior.
You're definitely right, sorry for bothering you :(
