When mugshot gets upgraded, the %post is noisy. It tries to delete a file but won't squash the error output: Updating : mugshot [ 9/42] rm: cannot remove `/usr/lib64/mozilla/extensions/firefox': No such file or directory This was in the last updates(-testing) set for Fedora 9
Can you take a look at this Colin - I don't understand the changes you've made to firefox-update.sh, and that's what is causing the issue. for libdir in /usr/lib /usr/lib64 ; do [... old stuff ... ] done + if [ -d $libdir/mozilla/extensions ]; then + rm $libdir/mozilla/extensions/$EXT_ID + fi libdir has the leftover value of lib64 here. (Which is why the warning only triggers on x86_64.) But you are actually installing the plugin into: $(libdir)/mozilla/extensions/$(FIREFOX_APPID)/$(EXTENSION_ID) Now, right? So I'm not sure why handling for a symlink at: /usr/lib64/mozilla/extensions/firefox Was added at all.
Hmm...yes, it doesn't look like the symlink changes from SVN r7221 were needed now that we have the global install directory, and I'm not sure why I added them. I think we can just remove the entire firefox-update.sh call from %postun now.
I've reverted the firefox-update.sh changes from r7221 in svn. I think we should leave the call to firefox-update.sh there at least until Fedora 8 becomes unsupported, otherwise F8 => F[9,10] upgrades will leave the symlinks, since we've never pushed a new mugshot for F8. (I *think* that Firefox 3.0 was pushed for F8, though I haven't checked.)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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.
