Description Quentin Armitage 2008-07-14 19:12:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
I get the following errors on installation of kernel and kernel-devel 2.6.26-
136.f10
For kernel:
/sbin/ldconfig: /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is not a symbolic link

For kernel-devel:
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.92170: line 12:  : command not found
error: %post(kernel-devel-2.6.26-136.fc10.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 
127

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.26-136.fc10

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.yum install kernel kernel-devel
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Error messages given above

Expected results:
No error messages

Additional info:
Up to and including kernel-2.6.26-0.131.fc9.git9.fc10 I didn't get the error 
messages.

BTW, should fedora_cvs_origin have been set to 760 for the 2.6.26 released 
kernel?
Comment 1 Dave Jones 2008-07-14 19:29:10 UTC 
two separate bugs here.

/sbin/ldconfig: /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is not a symbolic link

is a mkinitrd bug.  (reassigned).


The other..
For kernel-devel:
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.92170: line 12:  : command not found
error: %post(kernel-devel-2.6.26-136.fc10.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 

is a mystery.
Can you cat /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.92170 and find out what command its barfing on?

Comment 3 Quentin Armitage 2008-07-14 20:07:03 UTC 
I attach a new /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.nnnnn from a re-install. It is not easy to catch
since it only exists for a few milli-seconds.

There appears to be a stray \x19 (^Y) character at end of the file (line 12)
Comment 4 Dave Jones 2008-07-14 20:19:07 UTC 
That looks like an rpm bug.  I recommend leaving this one for Peter to take care
of mkinitrd, and file a seperate one for the rpm bug.
Comment 5 Quentin Armitage 2008-07-14 20:39:07 UTC 
rpm bug filed as 455333
Comment 6 Panu Matilainen 2008-07-15 17:56:04 UTC 
Just FYI, the junk at end of script was a bug in rpm macro argument handling (a
build, not runtime issue) which should be fixed now in rpm-4.5.90-0.git8426.8
which just finished building.

The kernel spec is pretty heavy on macros making it a likely candidate for
catching regressions in that area...
Comment 7 Christopher D. Stover 2008-10-27 02:33:23 UTC 
Has this still been an issues Quentin or can we close this as fixed in rawhide?
Comment 8 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-10-29 17:36:08 UTC 
Closing this as fixed, since I can no longer reproduce this. If it is not fixed in the Preview release, please reopen.
